Thanks! I just finished creating my smallest detailed deadwood work so far.
I'll post the before and after and some close ups of the tree later later. I hope it is convincing enough.

...I was planning to put this tree before on a rock as a penjing but after working on it, I found it too interesting to be used in a landscape design.

Mulawin is Vitex parviflora. It is also a science fiction story.
There are several Vitex species used for bonsai. They belong to the Verbena family & are related to Lantana. I did not have any success with either genus in the North.

...I can't resist putting the tree on my little slab.

small bonsai Dsc_0210

for the health of the tree, roots at the back is allowed to reach the side and always feed on a tray filled with moist sand.

For me it would be the trip of a life time to visit you. I'll have to put that on my bucket list. My Father was a merchant seaman and always said it was his favorite destanation.

This is a very nice tree and you have done a great job with it. Planting it on a slab makes it a eye catching piece. The only thing I think that would improve the composistion would be to have the slab at least 25% wider with the tree planted more to the left, leaving a nice negitive space to right that would compliment the movement of the foliage. IMHO
