I started this art last year and my first year was not a good one. Out of the 5 trees I had only 2 survived the winter, my korean hornbeam and a maple from a seed that fell from a neighbors tree. I got this last year from a nursery and after letting it grow I repotted it this year. I put it into a bonsai pot but learned it was going to slow growth so i made a pot myself. When I started pruning it I saw a long skinny trunk with what I think has nice movement. I removed all small branches from the trunk and anything that I did not think fits. I wish I had a pic before the prune. I am not planning on using any wiring I will shape by pruning, I will let the tree shape itself. I like literati a lot and I am happy, I think, that this has potential to be one.
Here is what I got so far. Let me know what you think.
