Tree #3 from Brent at Evergreen Gardenworks and my favorite of the three. Really nice movement all the way up, decent size trunk and all. I'm torn on what I want to do with this guy. Obviously need to thicken the trunk significantly, but could use styling tips.

Any thoughts? :)

Honestly, I completely forgot I even made a thread for this one, but he’s easily the least fussy and easiest tree I own.
I repotted this one on a wood board in March 2022 into a Anderson flat style pot.

I’ve just been letting this guy grow and started my first air layer on him the other day and figured I should update this thread.

The air layer was pretty tight squeeze, so hopefully I gave it enough room for roots. Hoping to get a shohin out of this one.

Long term goal for the rest of the tree is continue to grow out. Probably needs a repot next year as this thing pretty damn vigorous. I’ll probably repot and let it grow another two years and then trunk chopped to start building an interesting structure.
