This tree has come into it’s own this year. Finally all the branches are on where they need to be, and it is filled in nicely. I will develop the back bottom branch a little further, and then rewire the branches this winter to get them more uniformed. However this tree is going to be ready for show next year. July 2005

The leaves have come back very fast and the grafts are nearly complete. I took the time to trim this tree up a bit. However there still are things that I want to do. The second branch on the right needs to be bent down to mimic the branch below it. Also I need to complete the back branches once the graft has taken. Lastly, this tree will be repotted this winter in to a more shallow pot and this tree will be well on it’s way to being nearly “finished”. July 2004

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
