There are times when things just come together, and this is one of them. By rewiring this tree, and repotting it the tree now looks stable and balanced. I still need to develop side branches near the top but that won’t take long. Next step is to begin leaf reduction next spring and then this tree will really be something to see. Sept 2006

A year later and just a little fuller. The branches are thickening up and will just need time now to develop. This winter I will be able to look at the branch structure to better define this tree. Aug 2006

The tree has put out a lot of new growth and has begun to fill in its new shape. I will just let it grow out this year and regain its health. Next year it will be styled. This one won’t take long to finish. I think you can see the general shape at this point. It will be shorter and the left branch will need to put out more growth as well. Aug 2006

When I returned from Japan this tree looked different to me. I say that the branches were too straight and too far from the trunk. I bent them all down and closer to the trunk. This made the trunk look much bigger and now the branches matched the movement of the trunk. I also repotted the tree into an oval pot, however I found it to look to unstable. I added a rock to help thicken the base and found this tree worked very well as a root over rock. Aug 2006
