Thought I would post this tree so as to help give others a viable solution
for what to do with those import trees so often found at non-bonsai stores.
Up until now... All I have ever heard as far as advice giving to these trees is
that you must cut it down and start again... This is not true !!!
This tree actually consists of 11 trees that I wired together and threw in this pot
last year... Now obviously if this tree was to be placed in the ground for some years
it would fuse together in no time... In this pot, however it will take a tad bit longer,
but the result will be achieved none the less...
This past weekend I reduced all the trunks and foliage that I had let grow...
and did an initial styling with what was there. I also, re-potted this tree a lot higher
in the pot to at the same time start working on it's surface root structure.
As this tree fills in with more foliage and more shade is given to the trunks and roots,
it will take off, sending out aerial roots out everywhere... which will fuse the trunks
together and complete the transformation into one tree.
So, stock up on those cheap import trees !!! and let your imagination run wild !!!
