Al,
Nice transformation. If this doesn't give folks a roadmap for success then I don't know what will. Thanks for sharing, John

G,day Al
As a good friend of mine would say, put it in the back of my ute, ( pickup truck ) and I will take it to the tip ( garbage dump ).
I have noticed in the past he seems to go past them to his house.

I have a particular liking for shohin. This one makes my mouth water. Thank you for showing. Cheers Pup

The lesson learned from viewing this transformation: Do not put the tree in a bonsai pot too soon. You obviously did most of the work with the tree still in a large training pot. The first bonsai pot was too large for the tree, which is exactly what we are all told to do. When the tree was at the point of needing final ramification and light pruning you transplanted into a smaller pot.

Excellent!

Carmen
