i will defoliate again this coming weekend and clean up any unwanted branches.
it will be layered above the big root next year, and then root work will begin.

Hi Strawbs, that is coming a long really nicely :tu2:
I hope you are planning to post a pic when you defoliate it again as I would like to see it very much!
Cheers, and nice work, Dario.

Strawbs,

This tree soooo puts me in mind of one of Colin Lewis's elms fron his "Art of Bonsai Design" book.

Very nicely done. I, too, look forward to its Winter look,

Jan
