AusBonsai

Been ages since I’ve updated this one.

Repotted at the start of this growing season (it really needed it). It really got growing after the repot so now I decided to defoliate, trim and fully wire it down.

Think it’s starting to resemble a bonsai.

Ben, that's come a long way since you're first pics in this post .
If you are going to keep the length in the branches, upon your next rewire I would consider using a few guy wires (in lieu of the coiling)
You have some anchor points at the base of the trunk to tie off to.
I use plastic tube with wire threaded through to protect the branches from marking.

Don't be too hung up by this mentality - Keep at it my fellow novocastrian!.

This guy has been growing well, needs a good trim though. Will update the post when I trim it.
