I recently had the opportunity to style this tree, coming from Chikugo-En a couple years ago. (This isn’t my tree.)

I didn’t wire out every tip and it could really benefit from some backbudding to build out the structure. I’ve already received some input on the apex as well. “It looks better in person” is usually an excuse. That said, ...I have all the branches laid out to receive photons and the next styling really should produce something special.

Now I hope to find a pot for it.

Lately I’ve been noticing that on first styling at least, my trees look best from above.

Here it is from February of this year. I’m planning on removing the wire this month.
