Many thanks, it grew well over the summer but even though it gets pot bound (raises itself in the pot with so many roots) in two years the leaves don't reduce very much. It should look nice again in the spring.
Cheers

Still love it. If I may......
Carve front pic. If you lean it a little left, and bring the right side foilage down a bit, I think you'll have a better image. Thoughts?
Forget the leaves! Keep grooming it for that flower display.
Have you ever seen the youtube video of the all Forsythia show? I think its in China. All yellow! Thats what its all about!

IT definitely deserves it!
Great show! Jolly good show!

Graham it's beautiful! I think I say this one on FB. BTW, did you collect this yourself?

Thanks Sorce and Ryan.
Yes it does need a better pot but then again so do most of my trees (lol). Ryan - I collected it from the yard - in the way of a fence that I installed a couple years back.

All tucked in ready for winter....will look for a shallower pot and hopefully repot it after it flowers next spring.

Looking nice and ramified! I have this stupid little twig in a pot forsythia that I thought would bulk up in a few years but just hasn't done a thing. I think it's time to donate to the club auction in the spring and move on with some of my other stuff.

Here she is in flower, had lots of heavy wet snow this winter which flattened most branches.....spring in these parts is at least 3 weeks later than "normal". Still haven't found a better pot.Cheers Graham

Gorgeous yellow, magnificent!! Looks to be "ageing" nicely.
I wonder if perhaps eliminating some branch at the top of the deadwood and trying to introduce some irregularity in the resultant space could reduce some of the "symmetry" of the carving.
Maybe removing a branch and doing some more detailed carving, but trying to leave it more natural....
Must pop with color on your bench this time of year!!!

Beautiful! Great work on producing a blooming welcome to spring!

Thanks for all the "likes" and @LanceMac10 and @Wilson for your comments. For me this tree is all about the flowers, introducing us to spring around these parts (it goes well with our daffodils on the front porch). The tree is delicate, branches are easily broken and has a pith in the middle. The roots are lifting the tree out of the pot so I will repot in a couple of weeks, also will prune down the branches to try and get mote ramification, will consider opening up the front to enhance (perhaps) the carving and trunk.

Enjoyed the progression. I read these like deep pots. How shallow are you thinking?

Hi Darlene,
My wife liked it too much and asked me to put it into a garden pot so that she could enjoy it even more. Have let it grow which will provide better ramification if and when I can put it back into a bonsai pot.
