Hi Grant,

Good choice! We often style a tree with the lowest branch. It's a great way to create a new taper and a nice small bonsai. I would love to see how this tree develops.

Cheers,

Chris Sirre

Hi all,

The tree survived its big chop and is healthy.

The remaining branches are awful so I will probably eliminate all but the lowest right hand branch eventually and start from there.

Not much to show yet but here it is after some work.

It will need more time of course but it is a start.
