I have had this shimpaku for about 5 years from a cutting. Not a bad little semi cascade, however I thought maybe it needed some twists and some compression so I did that.

I am quite pleased with the result. The pot is a Stone Monkey pot from the UK.

Here are some pics of before and after.

Cheers Pup

Outstanding result Pup, and you make it look se easy

You da man Pup.

Is that a jin or stone?

Hi Pup , very nicely done . Thats a fine cutting also ' Ithink i will have to change my behavior a get seriously into Mini's , Mame and Shohin . Got plenty of shohin trainers just need to spend time on them . Nothing like a little bit of inspiration to get a bloke motivated .

Cheers Alpine

Very nice bending, and without any wrapping or anything either. Good to see what can be accomplished when its dont right Pictures can tell alot, thanks for another very helpful post.

Thanks Trent, it is jin part of the original tree.

Looks great, beautiful little tree.

Great tree... Dramatic change with a few twists. Improvement for sure

Hi Pup

That is an amazingly little Bonsai & that pot is something special a great combination

Hi Pup

Have just been studying it some more & this is only my opinion but I think the head need's to be lowered down to the height of the highest point of the trunk or maybe a little lower, I think it would make it a little more balanced

Nice tree.
Would like to see the other side. I think a view of it turned about 120 deg to the left might be real nice too.

Reminds me of Jows posts from a few years ago about twisting and bending small trees to make great stock.

I also noticed that when I posted it, and I agree it does need to drop a bit. It will be done soon as it settles in.

Thanks for the comments, Pup
