I'm back to this topic for update this odd bonsai

at first I plan to thining and restyle it on Oct. but look like it grow well between rainy season, I'm decide to do it now. here are the resuit...



first pic, I have thin some needle on the top. this is front of this tree.



left side of the tree.



right side, some confuse branchs on the top have removed.



from the back.



this angle is left-back view... it so look odd in my opinion.



this pic show progress from 27/9/09 - 14/9/10, almost one year from buy it as material and first styleing to present progress.

Apologize for my poor English ability...
I wish to hear all opinion,
P.K.

Please do not be concerned about your English.

This can be hard to see in photographs, but I think I would remove some more branches, you still have some that appear to be crossing each other and some that appear to hide others from the front. One technique is to also look down on the tree from above, you should be able to see all the branches. Think about removing branches that come from the same general area of the trunk.
I would not do any major work, but especially root work on a Juniper until much cooler weather.

sawatdee krap khun pongsatorn, looks like you have made a good start, looks ok, if ever you come to khon kaen come visit me . regards john .

Thank you very much,

Billy M. Rhodes : yeb, I think it still have some cross branchs but if I remove them... this tree will got big ugly gap... I still careful understand this tree.

john5555leonard : Sawasdee krub and Thank you John, and sure... I must visit you if I come to khon kaen.
