I bought this small shimpaku about a year ago. It was repotted in the spring. After it started growing I selectively pruned to open it up and try to get some ideas. Everytime I walked by I scanned it for ideas looking for a design. I am still fairly new so this takes me time. I brought to my october club meeting with a basic concept. I started working at the meeting but had to leave early so I finished at home.
After repot
I ended up dropping the soil level some because I planted it too deep.
After mid summer cleaning
After wiring
The lower left branch will become a jin and most likely the lower right. There are still some bar branches which I will sort out in the coming years.
