Texas EBony

Here is one of my Texas Ebony I purchased from Jupiter Bonsai several months ago. I just wired it and designed it this weekend.

Hiram,
Which pot am I providing for this one?

It's a really nice tree, I like it a lot

I like the tree a lot. From what I can see, the base seems to have a nasty knot of roots. How are you planning to deal with that? Do you plan to ground layer right above the base?

Also, tilting the tree slightly towards the right I think will greatly improve the look.

poppy, I cant wait for your class in june, I have 3 or so bunjin I would like your advice on. My texas ebonies{?} have proven so resilient, that I have cut the root like a ficus and not missed a beat. I think this pict does look like it needs to be leaned forward, but I know you man, and I bet that if you showed a side view, you would see all the movement that you put in your trees.
Nice tree sir, see you soon

The pot is up to you Ryan. Thank you all for your comments. The roots I will deal with it later. Texas ebonies are known for their roots being like this, it's part of their character. Does not matter if you place them in the ground, the roots will always come out like that. Dorothy I hope to see you and Ernie at The Bonsai Society of Miami 25th Anniversary bonsai show in October of this year. I would love to have everyone there.
