Not much to report on this one ... gave it a trim and thats it....
Will trim harder once the growing season is uppon us.

Re: [Not Updated}[matlea] lilly pilly
This one looks a bit sumo at the moment. The front for this one keeps changing. The photo attached is the current front with the back requiring some creative carving as it has a large chop where it was reduced (can see this in the first photos). Will let the new leader grow for now and then chop back once the desired thickness is achieved. Then do it all over again!
I might try some root grafts on the front in the future to improve this area, see how it goes.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: [Not Updated}[matlea] lilly pilly
Well I got some time to carve the back... Which is now the front... go figure! Will let is weather for a bit then I'll try some ink and lime sulfur treatment. Haven't done much to the top but some very basic wiring.
Hope you guys like it.
