I have been working on 3 trees today. A Port Jackson Fig, A Ligustrim (Privet) and a Corky Bark Elm. I have a before picture of the Corky Bark, but it still needs some work and development.
What do you think?
Where to from here?

Michael Toohey

G'day mate, i like the fig, i feel the privet keeps on going up and up but still looks good. Would the elm be better if the trunks were pulled together more and the main tree follow the smaller one's line. This is only my opinion and i think they all looking good.
Cheers, Mark

the Fig is Very nice :yes:
the Privet looks too Pompom like for me, the foliage pads neet be much larger and lees "Ball" like :imo:
The Elm looks nice, but maybe the left trunk is too long and straight. Have you thought about removing the section above the branch?

BBQ bonsai would not be tasty I don't think :whistle:

I actually like the privets style and movement, it's different :tu:
Thanks for sharing mate.

Han.

Thanks Ken & Han,
It is amazing how people can see the same thing and yet see something different.
I appreciate the opinion from both of you.
