We have been extremely busy with Martial arts camps and tournaments here at Bodhidharma. Put on top of that house renovating, keeping trees healthy, watered and fed, all leads to good reasons why i have not been contributing of late. This is some of the stuff that is happening at our place as i type :cool: Life is getting back to normal (if there is such a thing) and i can get back to Bonsai'ing :clap:

Sorry to hear your not on top at the moment Alpine. A bad back by the sounds of it. Get back on top soon.

can I ask about your plans for the second wisteria ---is it a single tree or a double planting-the style looks a little opposing-if two plants then I reckon each would have more interest as single trees--- if the right hand root of the rh tree was removed and replanted and some carving done from where it was removed you could have a stunning semi-cascade or slanting style--the left hand tree could be turned a little to the left to get a slightly new front--( sorry :imo: --just some musings)

Thanks for the input Guy. Catch up on this trees history by searching for.."Grand old lady" on this site. It was one very large tree which is slowly dieing and is on one root system. I plan to (if she lets me before moving on) is to fill in the centre again to get a fuller tree. We have history and i do not want to break her up to much. The cascade you see is a part off of her and there is another large section which is in a grow pot.
