Hi Antonio
Has the makings of a terrific tree.
Hirotoshi provides a great example of designing the smallest tree within a tree ( Pup's Quote ) which increases the dynamics of the tree enormously.
cheers
Dave

Hi Antonio,

I cannot wait to see it in a bonsai pot. Have you been able to select one yet?

Where did you buy the tree :D

Best regards.

This looks like it was one of the Paul S grown nursery stock, former owner of Bonsai The Imagination Tree. Is that correct?

Nice outcome,

Grant

Nice work Antonio!

I must admit when I first saw this tree on another Bonsai Forum, I was a little dubious about the multiple branches which seemed to twist about the main trunk, but now that you've reduced the tree and added a lot of deadwood, I think I'm coming around. I look forward to seeing it once you have removed the guy wires and refined the deadwood a bit!

Oh, and another thing...

:!: Congratulations on posting the 1000th thread at AusBonsai.com!!! :!:

I don't have a prize to offer you, unless maybe you want a bargain Peppercorn Tree... ;)

Goodonya Ant!

thanks all for the kind words and encouragment. dave that is true i am learning that often the smallest tree is the best tree. :D viet i like the profile of pot hiro has sketched, but to eventually get the right dimensions with a mix or warm brown and cinnamon tones in an unglazed pot, it will probably need to be commissioned from one of these fine potters we have here. :D Grant you are spot on with that. we spoke about this tree after my workshop with marco. i for one regret not buying a couple more of these at the time. :D thanks ketutg me too. :D 1000th fly how about that!, thanks fly im glad you are warming to this one.much needs to be refined still but all in time. ;) thanks penny 8-)
