Hi Martin,great transformation
Only I think,you can achieve a better result when you make the crown lower and you made the tree more mature
I made a virtual for you.

Hello Martin

I like your work...a very nice developement. I personally would stay with choice of the crown but reduce the jins a little bit.
And what about a round pot (made by Klaudia)?

Best regards
Martin

Is that jin at the top intended to look like a part of the male anatomy?

littlebobby : no thats optical ilusion from this wiev

Hi Martin,

first, welcome to the forum, second you have done a great job keeping this tree alive, most on the forum would not go near communis as a species as they are usually VERY difficult to establish as a bonsai as they can die even 5 years after collecting even when putting out new growth year on year. Third, its a bit too soon to be deciding on the 'final' pot, wait until the tree is matured as a bonsai before to pay out for a quality pot.

In this time .... still alive

Hi Martin

Very good work.
Tree grows to beauty.

Pavel

Still Alive!
And looking great, I applaud your horticultural magic for keeping it so healthy after collection, As Tony said i wouldn't dare try for one of these! Very well done!

Pavel, Man on the mountain , Ian ...thanks for you nice replies I am very pleased

after some time ..........

You really got a hand for this, nice watching your work.

Nice, congrats on keeping it for so long and in such a nice shape!
What's it potted in?

thx for response ....

are you asking for soil ? ........... its terramol , zeolite, peat 1:1:1

Yep, I was asking for soil. Interesting mixture, thanks!

Very nice tree, Martin, I hope I will be able to style such nice trees one day
