When we were moving in 2009 something fell on my Sao-to-me and broke the apex off so I had to find a new leader and build the apex again. As I look at the photos today I feel that whatever fell on my tree did me a favour – What do you think?

Hi, I very much agree - the regenerated apex is much more appealing. Overall you have a lovely tree there, congratulations. Ash

Re: Broken apex on Sao-to-me
Ditto to Ash and KC, a much improved bonsai. If you don't mind me asking, how tall is it now?

Re: Broken apex on Sao-to-me
Thanks for the replies Ash, Ken and Watto.
This little tree stands 23cm from pot rim and I don.t envisage it getting much taller.
