After the tree leafed out it really showed a nearly finished bonsai. Only thing missing now is flowers. Hopefully we’ll see some this fall. Aug 08

Here it is after about 4 hours of wiring. The tree now has the branch structure and carved trunk that it has needed for a long time. The tree is well on its way to being a very nice bonsai. Foliage should be back in a few weeks, and I’ll update the site then. June 2008

Today I defoliated the tree today to find a mess of crossing branches and undefined branch structure. The tree is very healthy however and was full of thorns. June 2008
