Sorry Lee, this tree can't be approved for the contest. The drastic taper and the large scar in photo #20059 show that it has been preworked.

Regards,

Matt

Yes it is ineligible. It looks like excellent stock but this has received treatment consistent with bonsai practices, including a significant top "chop" and reduction in the secondary branches with obvious pruning scars. I am sure this will make a fine tree but it is not appropriate for the contest.

Regards,

Matt
