Hi guys,

I'm new here, and new in bonsai art, I got this lantana camara by yamadori, but I'm having trouble about style.
Can anyone help me please

Thanks

Welcome to Crazy!

Looks like pretty difficult material far as styling goes!

I'd be inclined to remove a trunk or 3 but can't really tell which.

This might be just a good "keep alive" test.

Lessin you can stub out all the trunk and grow something back.

I have a couple lantanas, the wife loves the constant flowers. Maybe let it get nice and lush again and give it time to kick out plenty of roots for you. Once it's well rooted and cozy you can beat the spit out of these things. (I think it's technically a weed)

Hi, thank you all for answer. That tree was taken some time ago. I think it has inverse conicity, I was thinking about cut off most of branches to fix it. Bellow follow some recent photos of it.

Here is an example of a Brazilian bonsaist who had the same problem of reverse conicity.

I can't see your pictures in the forum, only when I copy the URL from it. This example is very good, but you will need some serious carving skills.

Wow. That Brazilian work is really impressive. I can see how it would inspire you.

I'll be watching eagerly to see what you do with this.
