The Sharp’s Pygmy is back home. The new growth has been pinched assiduously. Image

That is a beaut tree, Mark! There's one in the latest video I posted from the National exhibition in the US. Owned by Bill Valavanis, and in training for many many years. From all reports it's not an easy tree to refine, so well done you!

Ha! Mel … it is not me that has these skills … I just maintain … it is Mike Simonetto- one of our country’s most talented bonsai folk that got this tree to this point.
