I don’t think it matters what it is. I would have it. Looking good.
Cheers

Ooooooh! :o That last pruning was very daring for that tree. Hope it doesn't set it back too much. If I had seen this thread earlier, but only saw it today, I would have suggested to just shorten the low branches. It'll be interesting to see how it develops now.
Cheers, Frank.
ps. I wish we could grow cedars and spruces here on the Gold Coast, but it's too warm all year 'round. I've tried a couple of times without success. :(

Frank - you give me way to much credit in labelling my work "daring" - or you are simply being diplomatic. ;) I am probably just stupid... but I am at a point with some trees where - if I kill 'em - meh! But if I can get the bones better and then develop them ... all good. So this will end in the bin or ... if it survives... it will be a better tree for the work but.... I 've still got to learn patience. :palm:
Tending bonsai teaches me patience.
