Welcome gionk.. Very nice tree. Would it be possible to pull the entire top section down? Seems like hooking up a guy wire and just pulling the top part of the tree would make for a better cascade. Closing that space makes the tree more compact and more of a symetrical cascade instead of a sort of slant style tree on top and a cascade on the bottom. Either way, the tree is beautiful.
Here is a virt. No changes in form, just the top pulled down.

Man thats a seriously big Shimpaku ! I would hate to guess what that would have cost you to buy, lol in Florida I seen some Shimps with 1 inch trunks for $200 in a 5 gallon air mesh grow pot and anotehr that was in a Bonsai pot with an 1-3/4 inch trunk for a $1000.00 ! That tree looks at least 4 times the size of the potted one. It sure is a beauty.

Killer tree!
Show us the maples you have sitting next to the shimp when you get a moment.

For me... I personally would bring the cascading branch up
and level it off, as though it is reaching out...
Regardless... Nice tree, need to work on the two puff balls
of foilage, the one at the top, and the one on the top right.
They look out of place and very much like a topiary.
Oh and welcome to the forum.

That's a huge rhododendron I dug up from my yard to accommodate a pool.
Thing hasn't flowered in years, but I imagine it will. I'll prob start a thread on it, at some point.

Wow it's big, never seen an azalea with a trunk that massive!

I don't think it's an azalea. It's a rhodie, the big ones on the other side of the rhododendron family...

Are you a BSOP member? Lots of cheap trees at auctions there...

I've been kicking the idea around of joining (I know you weren't actually asking me..). I guess I'll just have to decide how social I want to be.... I would also have to miss Oct- Feb since I'm a wrestling coach.

Don't even have to be social
Just come for the cheap trees. Had a large auction two days ago at the regular meeting. Lots of old, large imported azaleas flying around for half of what they're really worth. The shimpaku in the thread would probably sell for under $200 at auction.
Also why not come when we have people like Ryan Neil and Michael Hagedorn giving demos on a regular basis?

There's a few people here who know my real name, even met me in real life.... Hard to believe I'm really not 6' 4" 255lbs though. close...
I'm not hiding anything behind a screen name and I'd like to think I rarely act like an ass, but I'm sure it's happened....

hate squirrels...
do you think that further thinning is needed to reduce the weight of the pads? They nearly look sheared in their uniformness...
