I picked this tree up from a local nursery for $10 bucks. It had an interesting trunk size but not really any foliage tight to the trunk line. I thought it would be a nice one to help me learn with and I decided to try and style it.
Pictures are below as I purchased it and what I have done so far. This is also my first attempt at creating any deadwood too so I only removed the bark (and didn't do the best job at that) and want to let it age a little naturally a bit before cleaning it up a little more.
I wanted to expose the decent trunk size and incorporate what I saw as the best moving main branches with usable foliage. I don't want much more vertical growth and want to fill in and create a nice medium sized tree.
Any comments are welcome. Thanks.
