After 7 months the canopy has begun to take shape. This of course is only the first styling, with more to come. I want to develop to top on the right side of the mound. If all goes well I expect to have this tree ready to submit to Epcot display in 2009.

Just 4 years ago to almost the day I bought this tree as a pre-bonsai, now here it stands on display at Disney’s Epcot for approx 1.7 million (estimated of course) people to see during the Flower and Garden Festival. It really turned out great, and it is in location that I had hoped it would be. In the following picture shows it proudly displayed in front of the Japanese restaurant. The background colors complement the tree and make for some outstanding pictures. This tree is on display until June 3, 2007, if you get the chance check it out. April 2007
By the way, notice the change in pot. The previous pot was loaned to me and I had to switch it out before the show. However I think this one looks a lot better for this tree.
If you look closely in the center of the picture you can see this tree displayed.

Well Epcot is just a few weeks away and I have completed the final pruning on this tree for display. I have also darkened the bark and bleached the shari with two coats of lime sulfur. I feel that these trees can look a bit too. “topiary” if they get too full. So I tried to show off more of the trunk and really separate the branch to make it more like a tree. Look for it at Epcot Apr 5 – Jun 3 2007. Mar 2007

This tree has come such a long way from what it looked like just 3 years ago. It has finally been carved to add some taper to the top of the tree and the branches are now in place. It will just take a few more months to thicken the foliage to complete the overall look of this tree. I plan to submit this tree for consideration for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival in 2007.
