AusBonsai

All ,

this tree i bought at the Bonsai society Auction on Monday night for a bargain. It is quite poor material but does have some options , also having creamy-white sprays through the foliage yeah well, I'll give it a go and see what happens.

There's a few ideas floating around Any ideas on what you would do with this little juni?

you should check out whats happening just under the soil--obvious literati with the thinnest trunk but obvious isn't always best

you should check out what's happening just under the soil--obvious literati with the thickest trunk but obvious isn't always best

I'd use the thin one as a sacrifice branch to thicken up the base, and depending on what's going on under the soil line, I'd ground layer it just below the sacrifice branch. You can probably get a bit of gentle movement into that thicker trunk.

There is a possibility that you could get a father/son literati going there as well.

Cheers,

Andrew

Maybe graft some Shimpaku onto the trunks

All, alot of work needed in the future for this one , I'm still trying to get my head around what's happening myself but definately a step forward.

That is certainly some very drastic movement there and also looking good. Look forward to seeing that develop.

Nice work Craig
Interesting use of Copper waterpipe!

Was wondering if you can get a Bend in the bottom of the larger trunk at the 3rd cable tie? bent to match the pipe might look more interesting.

thanks Guys,


What I see myself ending up with here an older tree which has the dominant stance and the lower tree is fighting/twisting and turning until one day it too has a dominant stance of it's own.


Thanks
