This is the small tree at 300mm tall and 100mm at the base. I think this tree has great Shohin potential.

I like the movement in this one.keep up the good work mate

It sure does but it is way too tall. Where will you cut it?

Cut just above the first branch I say!!!

It has an exposed root system that may well lend it self to more of a penjing treatment.

Lots of interest if you were to cut as Watto suggests and then sweep the foliage strongly to the left and down. Very dramatic!

Or cut at the next upward junction and wire down The two main branches; one to the left and one to the right. Less interesting as it doesn't really make use of the interesting rootage.

Maybe time for a sketch.

This tree has been sold as i needed the money.
