Hey All,
I was wanting to get stuck into this today, repot and refinement, and then I actually looked more and more and was a little undecided exactly which way to go.
Not sure if to remove majority of the left side and a lot of the time branching to bring down the general height of the tree.
Welcome any input?

Re: Double White Flowering Peach - Ramification
Some good potential there, but the angle where the trunk continues after the trunk chop puts me off a bit - would you consider cutting right back to the low left branch, then leaning ti over to the left, so the trunk moves harmoniously outwards?
Just a thought. There aren't a lot of these about, so it's good to see.

Re: Double White Flowering Peach - Ramification
I really like GavinG's idea... a radical chop but I reckon it would set a stronger foundation for the future.
Whatever you do - go with what you want and enjoy. Excellent potential there.

Tending bonsai teaches me patience.

Re: Double White Flowering Peach - Ramification
No i definately don’t discount your suggestion as it was one of my thoughts also.
There is 1-2 buds about to burst should I do it now before it really comes alive?

Yep, now's the time. I can't see much in the top stuff worth layering.

Don't waste too much time trying to bonsai peaches. Put in in the garden and forget about it.
