Hi Mojo,
Thanks again for your virtual and suggestions.
The photo shows a couple of the changes made to the tree.

Gave it a bit of a haircut while I was at it and will now spend a bit more time and effort on the crown.
Regards
Steve

Looking nice now sreeve. I thought it was another virtual :)

Maybe the right branch could be thinned out a little or is that for horticultural reasons?
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Steve,
I like the re-work, the image has improved and the tree should look great when new growth fills the gaps a little (which shouldn't be too long!).

Cheers
MM

Thanks for your encouragement guys and again Mojo, for your insipration

I think I could distort a famous old saying to something along the lines of....sometimes I cant see the bonsai for the trees.....

Thanks again

Thanks for your comment Adam - much appreciated.

Another of your statesmen (Mojo) was kind enough to give me a few pointers a couple of years ago which I continue to refer back to.

I am still waiting to see one particular tree of yours mate .........

Regards
Steve
