Hi, everyone! You have been all very helpful as I start my journey into Bonsai.
Today I was working on my Mugo that I've posted on here. I just bought it this year so I'm still in reduction phase of this guy.
Here's how he looked about 8 weeks ago.
You guys suggested that I keep reducing to show some more of the branch structure, so I did a little bit and here's how it looks today, with a slight temporary modification with my hand.
The right trunk curves backward away from the viewer (in this view) and is the coolest feature on the tree, but that center trunk is too straight and supports a 6-branch knuckle. An idea that I'm bouncing around in my head is to take the entire top of the tree off and regrow from the branch my thumb is supporting as the new leader.
