Steven, this is amazing to me.
It really illustrates what is possible with mature stock. The change in the box over 3 years is staggering. Well done and thank you for posting the progression.
Cheers,
Mark
I just looked again...
PS - I am trying to work out this excellent progression. Am I right in that you have achieved the look, in part by tilting the original tree - enabling you to have a more erect main truck and then the secondary trunk on the right.
PPS - Also, have you used a coloured cut paste on the Myrtle; clever if so, it is almost invisible.

Re: Showing my Shohin
G’day Mark,
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, the box has been tilted to the right to make the right hand trunk a branch.
The cut paste on the Crepe Is the one in the yellow tube.
Regards
Steven

Re: Showing my Shohin
Hi Steven, Thank you for sharing. Interested to see how the Chinese Elm is doing. The one from your first post on the rock. You also posted a picture of it after being chopped due to reverse taper.
