Re: My Shimpaku...
Thanks guys haha
Kind of a bit embarrassing looking back on some of my attempts to style it
Just to put things into perspective.
The tree what it looked like when I acquired it pretty much 1 year ago when I started bonsai... was in pretty rough shape, being overwatered and had fungas gnats in the roots. Did a repot straight away to get rid of the waterlogged soil and the pests.
Vs what it looks like now.
Pretty happy with the transformation in only a year.
