Hi Antonio

Great work mate, I was good when you finished the 1st styling with Marco & even better after Hiro. Did that branch survive that snaped when Ben gave you hand or was it cut of.

Cheers

I agree its a nice tree, but I still don't agree taking it to two master grade international artists and allowing one to change the original style so early in development.
But that's just my opinion.

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for the info. If you cannot find a suitable pot, then it certainly
deserves a customised one.

I feel that the quantity alone does not do anything for one's satisfactions.
Having styled a few good bonsais for oneself is so satisfied.

I am green with envy here ) I do not any decent juniper. You have one and
Aaron has one

(It was sad that Mr. Paul Sweeney left. In the last months he was still a
proprietor, he stocked a lot of signed Japanese pots. He had more of used
signed pots in the tin shed . He said he left to do advanced bonsai. But
I do not know if he opens to public somewhere?)

Best regards.

thanks skip; no that branch is still there, its the bottom left cascading branch. besides cracked and popped a few since then.

today he has finally been potted. once recovered he will go into refinement. styling will need adjusting after the new palnting angle with more deadwood to come. till next year.

Yes, very nice Ant. I like a tree with a lot of deadwood to enhance it. I know it is hard to get a sense of proportion's on computers so i am guessing its height at 300mm or is it smaller? Pot suits it by the way.

nice one mate!!!

its look good ant!
this is one nice tree! i like it as is now, but its gonna look awesome when you trim it in to shape! its got some nice effect to it with the dead wood, it will look great when the mature foliage comes in!

Wow, what a transformation!! That looks sensational ^_^
Alot fo skill and effort have gone into that one!

I name thee Scorpio, and he will guard over the mell maintained trees o Ant.

Looking good mate, but all I can see is a scorpian in it.

thanks bodhi, yes its about 300mm to the top of the deadwood. the pot still needs to get down to the next size. next year i will kill off more branches and do shari work.

jamie and nathan thanks, this tree was an important lesson in reducing height, the rest was just patience and hard work. thanks to HIRO!

jezza, his name is THOR the god of thunder.
