Hi. It depends on many things. What bspecies of tree is it? When was it cut,what season,also where are you situated?

You are right vance. I do not want to re-invent the wheel. The masters of ages ago has made sure nobody can invent a new style. I'm aware of the rules,ratios etc. I've allowed this tree to grow out of hand ,because I like so much,and I'm "scared" to take out the tools and make the changes...

Thanx abc. The uniformity of the branches is what worries me. There are adequate branching at the back. Just not visible in the pic. Will try to take side pics tomorrow. It's a drag using this cell phone! What do u think about the uniformity? Some main branches has to go ?

This is a common myrtle which I've grown from a cutting since about 2000. Before I knew it I sat with these pads. Any advice ? I was thinking of re-styling it,but I'm stuck. Is the pads to big? They seem to be at the same level, but there is no "handle bar" branches. I hope the pic...

Jeepers creepers. I'm glad the U S is such a huge place ! Just imagine if you all were in walking distance of one another ? Blood,guts , swinging scissors and saws. Chill dudes. Bonsai is supposed to be a peaceful and respectful endeavor! Peace.

The father of our nation has passed away peacefulluy in his sleep. Condolences to his family. RIP Tata Madiba !

Hi. I agree with you. Some trees really look artificial . Suppose it's tradition ? Stairways to heaven the japanese call it.

just a cool tree , to share ?

Hi. A while back there was a dude who wanted to swap drawings for stock , tools etc. Don't know in what thread though.

I am "overseas". Perhaps he needs a camera? I have some here. Do you think he would post a pic from my camera?

Lol ! Lordy lordy lordy lordy!

The inner ball could be dry from the hard soil. Immerse the pot into. A tub of water.bubbles will appear . Leave it ther until it ceases. Place it then in a semi-shade spot for a few weeks. There are all manner of additives you could mix in the water. To aid the process. Not sure what you can...

Hi. If I understand correctly,you have watered it twice in 3 weeks ? If yes,that could be the problem. Underwatering. Pomegranate loves sun,so it could also be your climate. Could be the start of dormancy ?

Lol anthony. Can't wait to see the reaction ! Been following these threads. And enjoying them. Art or hobby? I don't care what other people want to call my creations , I enjoy it. It gives me pleasure.

Then you'll have to play the waiting game;). The ratio to girth / height is about 1 to 6 if I'm not mistaken? To me it's more of a guideline I don't take that rule to seriously.
