A tree I purchased from Kaizen Bonsai, UK website. Bobby originally pointed it out to me and it did strike a chord with me. The movement in the trunk, its size, and of course its great bark and representation of age.
There's always that slightly sour taste of not knowing exactly how old it is, I have no idea so feel free to hazard a guess.
A brilliant sunny day for the pictures too.. 22/05/2019

Again, thanks to Bobby for pointing out, but this also bears resemblance to a well known Pear, from WP, which I can certainly take inspiration from. Large difference, not as spectacular of nebari.

I don't know how long it has been in the pot, or what it is in, however it seems to be nursery soil, quite sandy. I have no idea or feel for strength or vigor.
It needs its first major work done to set its bones in place, then to develop proportional primary branches. The 2 sub trunks at the top, are my main concern.
I have done some minor work on areas which I will definitely be keeping, not touched the top yet. Will follow up with another post.
