Wow. Really nice progression series. As a newbie, I really appreciate the opportunity to see development like this. Thanks for the effort!

Hi Sankofabonsai

Loved to see all the photos, a very good job.

The low left branch is a bit low, but without, the tree loose ballance. I dont think it is enough to grow the next left branch bigger. It still have a ballance-problem.
I would cut off the right branch too, and make a new airlayering, further up the trunk.

Kind regards Yvonne

Excellent stuff! I was having trouble figuring out how to rootwork one of my trees and you cleared it right up with this progression series.

Bravo! thumbs up

Hi Sankofabonsai

Your reply is very good. I thought you allready had cut off the first branch, and it was too late. Your tree will look a lot like the japanese tree in the future, this is good.
Your small trees are also very nice.

Kind regards Yvonne

My only critisism and I would keep the branch on the left, is the general branch placement. It is styled like a Pine with the branches on a horizontal plane. Compare it to the Japanese Elm which has a more vertical habit.

Congratulations with this wonderful progression. I also like low spreading trees and agree with you that this tree has still a way to go to fulfill your vision. For this moment now the first branch on the right of the trunk on the picture is definitely the sashi-eda and the lowest branch the uke-eda so I will reduce that one because the eye is drawn in two directions. I think this will harmonize the whole. Maybe you have this plan but you're keeping the branch as is for the moment to maximize your nebari development?
As on the very first photos when you started working on the tree you can see that these are two trees fused together so I shall not remove that branch completely myself.

No need for me to chime in really....but I wanted to say thanks. It takes a lot of time to put a progression series like that together but wow....such a great thread and learning opportunity for many of us. I liked the originally tree but I love the current form...thanks again!

Thank you Sankofabonsai! Very,very interesting about the photos and I like the second tree as well. No need for apologizing for any disagreement because if we discuss the tree the IBC members learn as you mentioned. Especially as you mentioned your vision for the tree and why you are doing development now first and then refining. Congratulations again and thanks for all the photos.
