Dunno -Grow some more branches I expect and carve some rotten wood near the chop off point. It is not showing much progress for the 10 years but I hope to make it better with some of that fertilizer stuff.

That is one massive tree!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
