Try for multiple bends in the trunk, rather than a single curve. Also, check the trunk afterwards to make sure the bends aren't all in the same plane - trunk looks bent from one angle and staight from another. 3D bends, not 2D. Then you wait for the 4th dimension (time) to work its magic.

Good evening Sir, just thinking to cut the one on the top and used the one on the right side with raffia as apex. What do you think?

Thank you

Ilythia,

I recommend you now leave the tree without removing or bending anything more. Take the wire off when you need to and don't even look at the tree for one year. This time next year you will see things you don't see now.

Sir Treeman,

Good Morning, this is what I done earlier this morning, I’m not happy with straight tree that’s why i did some movement, I’ll changed my mind and did not cut the top. Because it will leave a big gap on my tree and look funny. I will leave my tree alone now and thank god im really happy for what I did. Been doing bonsai for 6months and this is the best tree that I made and post here. I been posting here all the time and most of the tree that I post most of them die. [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] now the more I try to read books the more I will learn the art of bonsai.


Thank you and god bless us all
Ilithya
