So this is a Jade I collected before a building at Melbourne University got demolished about 5 years ago..I will blame Don Deluca for getting me into Jade Bonsai..GREAT Bloke .. Love it ! haven't seen him in a long time.

I have provided a before and after styling, but I would like to get suggestions of the top and side branch. Im thinking of removing the secondary top to the right and possibly all the right lower branching?? Thanks for the help.

Hi Grainer I have no suggestions just base envy . Was this a cutting or did you dig it ?
Cheers Sno

Hi Grainer,

Great tree, I love Jades too.

I agree that the second apex should come off. I also think that the lower right branch obscures that great trunk and could be reduced, even taking off that mini-apex it has. See if reducing that branch makes you feel happier before removing it.

Consider reducing the height of the main apex too. Have fun.

Matt.
