Re: Hollow trunk olive

Re: Hollow trunk olive
Olivecrazy thats an incredible stump... can't wait too see where you start to go with it.
I'm very new to bonsai, so take this suggestion with a grain of salt but I think the tree cut back to the height of most of the virts members have provided would make a fantastic example of a 'root over mountain' style.
Again, i'm not sure if that is the correct term but it's what it was called in the program I watched (the name of which i cant remember). And sorry but i can't find a picture either. But i mean that instead of looking at the stump as one tree, the stump becomes a mountain and you train branches into smaller trees, of varying styles, all over your 'mountain'.
hope i made sense there. Anyway, whatever you do with that base, its going to be great.
Can't believe the incredible virts members come up with. talented bunch here. mine always look like a baby monkey did it.
