style trainers .Inspired by Shibui's Water swept concept Bonsai i decided to have another go at a Bottlebrush .I did collect several of these many years ago and used them as landscape tree's . After collection the were trimmed /chopped and potted , then placed up the back and left to the own apart from a trim with shears . Cheers Alpineart

I simply slip potted the literati

and twin trunk

trainers and worked on the water swept style by attaching it to a piece of carved red Scoria

This will be wired at a later date , the tree will possibly be rotated 75 degrees and end up as a exposed root over rock water swept cascade with a natural jinned trunk .Cheers Alpineart

I think that you have three lovely trees to work on.
It is great that they are all so different.
Am jealous
