Here is an update on my BRT after winter indoors.
I actually ended up putting it into the Bonsai Society Of Dallas Club Show last weekend. The pictures never do this tree justice for some reason. It looked much better in person. I moved the moss kusamono and display card closer just for the picture.
Today I noticed that it was trying to shed bark again. It seems like every spring it exfoliates pieces of bark randomly.
I helped it along so it wouldn't give bugs and insects a place to live. I love the contrast of the white bark.
It's staying outside for good now unless we get an unexpected freeze, which is not uncommon in Texas.
