After a summer of growing this tree looks awesome (if I say so myself) I have not trimmed this tree at all this year. It simply grows to be a bonsai. I will work it a little bit this year just to thin it out out to let some light in. The only problem I have is that the lowest right branch is getting too heavy and is splitting the trunk from the weight. I will either have to secure the branch with a wood screw, remove the branch, or remove a lot of the weight. Aug 2006

I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to finally make a bonsai of this tree. I’m am glad I did. It has grown so much in only 3 years. This was the size of a pencil when I got it and now it has great movement and character. The tree we trimmed back pretty hard to get it into this shape, but it won’t take long for it to fill back in.

I thought it about time to update this tree. As you can see the interior leaves have dried out and fallen away. Every year this tree does the exact thing. However it is not a problem because this tree buds back very well. In fact in the next picture you will see a lot of new buds popping out already. July 2005

This is the trunk this huge canopy has been hiding. It is only a 2 1/2 years old and already over a 2″ trunk. It has great bark and lovely movement. I believe next year this will make the transition to a bonsai. July 2005
