Spruce Yamadori - WINDSWEPT

Hello everyone!

my first post at IBC..

I would like to share this Yamadori i dug up 2 weeks ago from a mountain near my city.
My guess it is a spruce, if anyone has any better suggestion - please correct me.

You can guess the style Im going for, so I would like to get some comments on further styling and ways I could go with this tree.
I dont plan anythig drastic since tree needs to adjust to her new home.

Thanks in advance anyway.[img][/img]

looks like something you can enjoy styling. And your right to let it address it's new home and that'll be it's first full time job for this year.

Then you can begin to thin the top and middle clump of foliage and then when you repot the third year to look for a different pot. seeing what i term an unglazed "wobbly" then another formal design.

collecting is fun and takes lots of patience

i am new to this art form, and love this tree!!!

That my friend, is in all it simplicity, and I mend that as a compliment, simply a amazing example of a tree that is beaten down by the hard winds! You can almost hear the wind rushing trough it's struggling foliage! You made your Bonsai look like a real tree! Well don!

Thanks a lot Hans and everyone else.

There was actually another strong branch on the right (naked) side of the tree, but of was thorn off by the huge snow this year. To be more exact it was 2 meters of snow this winter and temperatures of -35 in the mountains, and -27 in the urban area.
Well I was real sad that this branch fell off.

I eager to do some cutting on the tree, but Im well aware off it is too early.

What about the branch placement?

Any suggestions, should they go lower? Any movement changes? for the future of course..

Prvo, drvo se mora primiti i biti veoma zdravo.

Hvala Andrija..

Drvce neplaniram "dirati" dok se neprimi.. ali čisto onako planiram za budućnost.

Imam neki plan, ali uvijek je dobro čuti drugo mišljenje.
