Hello all...
This is a tree I found at the bonsai nursery about 1 1/2 years ago.. It was very overgrown, but was very old looking and incredibly ramified with long, cascading branches..I knew the tree had specimen potential and being so unusual, put it in a class by intself... Although, some things may be considered flaws. It is these things that make this an exceptional bonsai. Some love this tree, others are on the fence about it. It is probably 40-50 years old and a little over 2 feet tall.
I have posted this tree in the past. However, over the last week. I have worked on it very meticulously to really bring out its beauty since it had reverted back into a bush almost.
I think that most of this tree was styled with a vision that the previous owner had. I just kind of went along with that vision. Some points of interest are ....the bottom back branch, it is there on purpose to break up the long look of the trunk and to add aesthetic balance and stability. The first left and right side main branches are actually not what they seem. It is a front branch where the sub branches have been pulled to different side to elicite the look of side branches.
Here are some pics, the first 2 are the whole tree then the last are of some of the ramification.
