The future:
will continue to ramify and thin out as time goes on but im pretty happy with its refinement thus far.

bonsai are constantly evolving, lets see if this tree can be better.

Yep, I like it. Certainly an improvement in my view.

Yes, I was never really that comfortable with the previous falling out of the pot look.

Wow mate ... what an awesome tree and solid work . It just goes to show what you can do with a tree. Hopefully with posts like these other people can take a bonsai or find a yamadori turn it upside down and make something awesome from it .
Think outside the box hey !!!
Take that tree you dont know what to do with and do a handstand !!!!
Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys! this tree has always been an experimental piece working with the boundaries of line and balance. this new stage is moving towards a more subtle play with those dynamics, i have plans though to rework the foliage into something rather interesting in the future, soon we will see.

Hi Hugh,
Just read this post of yours. What awesome foresight, I'm amazed that you've turned what most people would do, ie create a cascade into the reverse, just awesome and loving it. Great vision. Fantastic

Cheers RodM
