So the idea that individual species do not normally interbreed, and that species that are closer in the classification are typically more similar does not present a reality for you?
This is incredible. I wish I could create these “simulation” pictures! It really helps to see what things could be while developing a tree to inspire and keep you on track. I like this version very much.OK, I have Chinesed this up, so it's another example of a way to do something with this tree. I'm really pleased with the many constructive suggestions that have been made here. One of the most important things I learned early in my bonsai introduction was from two old guys who helped me in a club workshop: There is more than one way to do anything and you pick and choose from the options what suits you and your goals. By the time this tree is healthy and ready for the next step, you'll be ready, too.

You are so full of shit toilets fear you.IMO, that trunk is always going to be too thin to use any of those branches.
I'd keep only that branch, and lay it one of these 2 spots. Above or below the half line.

You can start branches that are in proportion to your trunk and keep them that way.
Make big trees big, make small trees small!

Its not that there is anything wrong with your skill, I think it would just be better applied to a smaller version of excellence!Sorce, you’re a savage my friend!! Lol though I see your point and appreciate your opinion. I will not dismiss it.
I’m not offended. But I would not call what I have skill right now but maybe one day lolIts not that there is anything wrong with your skill, I think it would just be better applied to a smaller version of excellence!
