Re: Weeping Literati
Interesting shape of the trunk and the wiring gave it a new look.
The jinn that's flowing downwards fits with the weeping look you are aiming towards for my part.
The uro just below the apex looks nice and I hope will look nicer with time as it "matures".
The knob gives it a struggling appearence that I see in some trees that I see where I live.
The only thing that's "disturbing" my eyes is the uniformity of the trunk from bottom to top [ just below the new apex ].
But I dont think that you can do much about it right now.
I'm sure when the leaves will come out this will look awsome!
What pot are you thinking of once it gets into a more mature shape?

Hey Jun,
Nice work.... different and very interesting.
Would like to see what it looks like in leaf.
Cheers Graham

Thanks Xavier!
This tree is actually twisting from bottom to the top. The trunk/head moved 360 degrees from front back and the back to the front. And I find the "knuckle" like juncture on top created an added feature.
I am still thinking for the proper pot. Maybe a regular circular pot or a slab... but the main concern would be the balancing act the tree would need to make it freestanding.

Re: Weeping Literati
I love it Jun!!! I think it would look nice in a glazed bunjin pot; sky blue or very deep blue color glaze. It reminds me of the Japanese Plum Festival trees at this link:

Or Google "Azai Bonbaiten 2010"
How does this species tolerate deadwood along the trunk?
Best,
Todd

Re: Weeping Literati
deadwood was also the first thing that came to mind for me...but, then i started thinking...that probably the first thing most people are going to think of when trying to get rid of a bulge like that, and there must be a reason Jun hasnt decided to go that route...
i love how you did the weeping limbs...they arent just wired down in an arch, they have movement that gives them a sad look...not "sad" as in the tree is a sad sight...more like tormented, haggled...that kind of sad...very nicely done.

Re: Weeping Literati
The image of Edward Scissorshands comes to mind... also, the bulge has an animal image in it - I see an octopus head with eyes...

Re: Weeping Literati
It is not actually a bulge, (or shark wing) . It is part of the loop on top. Follow the trunk line carefully- Look carefully at that area the second picture, and see how the loop moved, trunk from below it moved up (on the top most) then moved slightly to the left then make a twist to the right before it moved to the left again in a downward movement.

For me this tree is so voodoo. I love it Jun. I prefer it without the leaves but let me wait and see.

Thanks Adam! I really find this tree weird myself. This particular species doesn't grow trunk like this. They are just like any other regular huge tropical trees. That is why I am having a hard time thinking for a suitable pot for it's weird character.

If you feel that way Jun then why not put it in a weird rock. Get a rock like ones that have been eroded by the sea and varying 2 tones and let the colour of the bark guide you. Something like this.
At a slight slant with those dreadlock branches hanging of it. What do you think?

Re: Weeping Literati
That's a very interesting tree you got there Bro, and the size and styling, magnifies the beauty as whole..your really good

Re: Weeping Literati
I think the tree by itself is magnificent. What I would like to see is a different pot where the planted position of the tree was a bit more toward the center of the pot. I would prefer a round drum style pot.

It was originally planted in a round pot. placed it in this bigger pot for faster development. I think I have to customized a pot for this one.

Re: Weeping Literati
Hi Jun,
In your 4th photo the angle shows off a main supporting root for this tree. I think you need to start "there" for proper placement in the container; you need a supporting root to show from the front to give stability to your tree. BTW, your drawings are beautiful! I prefer the image on the left with the shorter foliage.

When you cut the branches, let the last bud on the top to have a cascade branche.

Thanks! But that is not the design I am aiming for. Maybe if it is an ordinary weeping tree in an ordinary trunk your design might work. but this is not the case here. otherwise, will turn out ordinarily ugly. You know why? because everytime you let the new shoots move outward like in your illustration, the foliage will move away from the trunk line, and the compact design will be gone. the unity of the trunk and the branch movement should always go hand in hand in creating a design...if this principle were to be practice, chances are "cookie cutter" designs will not be on the design menu anymore.
...And I already done the cutting and letting the new bud cascade down 4 years ago. the branches are already in the third stage stage of ramification and the aim is to reach more than five stages of ramification in a weeping style.

jun
