Bodhi, crazy or no, that's for the individual, but I will say only.
This is one of the nicest examples of a cliff face windswept that I have seen.
Hard work with a hard tree has payed off.

A better photo quality for this tree and i must say, this tree i started off not liking and i am changing my mind as it improves I think the tree now has good potential as a talking point and as the foliage refines it gets better and better.I love crazy looking trees

Improving year by year, thanks for posting. Would you consider shortening the branches by a third? With a much shorter pot, bit deeper?

Hi Mr "G" most certainly a new pot (dont know what yet ) and would like to make the tree more compact. I do not know enough about these yet and i am still at end pinching stage to see how it responds.I have found that tipping the ends create growth back down the branch but not uniformly at this stage. Loving the look of this tree as it develops.
