Betula pendula raft - a short history
2 years of improvement.
Enjoy.
The moment when I bought it this photo was essential to understand the structure.
When I got it in 2010 it looked like this.
2011. Still looks ugly but has to for becoming a good one.
Repotting in spring 2012
Restyle in spring 2012. Many branches had to be cut for better branching especially in the background.
The wiring is so fine that I will have to remove it in just a few weeks.
Best wishes

I know it's just words, but I think I'd classify this one as a "clump" rather than a raft. Whatever, it is going to be a good one.

Thanks Jim,
yes, it's more a clump than a raft..

The delicacy of the weeping branch work is lost when the leaves emerge, (photo from 2011) The weeping looks absolutely wonderful out of leaf though. perhaps a reduction of a few of the thinner trunks might help open up the image a bit? Just thoughts.
Do you expect good leaf reduction with this species?

That's not uncommon. It may well be ample reason for developing trees solely for their winter silhouette.
My windswept trident raft has the same "problem."
It's always nice to have trees available for winter display, and I'd recommend that route to Max. Very nice!!!

each Bonsai is made for a its season. This one is for spring. Nothing more nothing less.
So I will not cut one of the trunks because it will never look authentic in summer.

you need to think: understanding the actual leaf development to apply shape stem.
I think that with the development of natural leaves, trees do not fit the style of your drooping branches
