Greetings Ed

Wow! This is great.

The slightly off-balance base is beautiful, and the colours is Autumn will be splendidly echoed by the colour of the pot.

Very nice, but a little hard to see with the hedge in the backround.

Amazing! Good job

is that pure turface you are using ?
art rod.

Just a thought. Very nice!

This is one of the best I have seen. The bark is the most impressive. Was the tree raised from seed? Layered?

The base on this is stunning. It is huge but nicely tapered and not at all grotesque. I think the changes in Garykk's virtual emphasize the base more and make it even more impressive.

Hi all,thanks for your replays
And Garykk,in real the tree look much better than on photo
And I will not shorten this tree,and this is not easy to achieve as in a virtual.
And vaiojoe,I bought this very old tree at bonsaishop Deshima.
And this tree is abouth 80 years old and it has not so good branchplacement and ramification,and I am working to get this right in the future
And the tree is potted in akadama only,and looks happy with this
Greetings Ed

beautiful trident Ed congratulations.
