still have the that obvious fault in the the middle but hey too late to bend now. Only a beginner so bending old obvious faults is hard for me without snapping the branch. Maybe in years to come
If you can't bend it, then bring a bit of foiliage down in front of it to obscure it a little bit :) If you can't fix it, hide it :tu:
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

Hey Sammy,
You needed to take that last pic with your beautiful smiling daughter beside the tree - then you would notice the real change!
A multi-progression thread to cherish.

Great tree in such a short time. Are you considering softening the edges of the pads as part of ongoing maintenance?
