Hey! So I haven't picked up new material in awhile but this year I got bit pretty bad with the "bonsai bug".
I ended up picking up 3 Montezuma Cypress at our local nursery and have decide to try 2 flat tops and 1 as a formal upright.
I have been looking at some flat top pics in nature as well as bonsai compositions and really like the longer super skinny trunks leading up to the flat top.
Example.
I saw a pic of this tree with the artist holding it and if I had to guess the tree is approximately 36" to 40" tall.
What I am wondering is... did this tree start with a leader? Kind of looks like a few inches above the lowest branch.
Am I doing myself a disservice by leaving my tree as tall as I am... The chop is approximately 30". Im hoping to get another leader to the rightish of the current branch.
Thanks!
