But because it was just allowed to do it's own thing and grow like mad most the flowers are on the top half of the crazy long branches. Give me a few years to bring things in tight, then it should be a sight

Cool. Red blossoms perhaps? I remember your shoots coming out reddish. I have Matsubara red ume, and it may have had the similar red shoots as yours.

Lots or carving, and when it's done booming it'll be cut back hard and branch structure will be started this year. Plus I'm just studying the tree, letting it tell me where to go
 
Thanks!

Am interested in seeing what you going to do with it once the flowers are spent. I have one on the way from CA that will need to be tamed. Looking forward to see updates.

It's a pretty rare species in the states, even more so as bonsai. This is by far my greatest find and my favorite tree.
