Hi,
I really like your tree, well done
When I first started getting in to bonsai about 2 years ago I picked up 3 of these 'little gems' and tried to create finished looking trees, as I'm sure many newbies do, big mistake!
2 of them I have now cut right back and started again, but the one pictured I kind of like, I know it doesn't tick all the bonsai boxes but I'm hoping over the next decade it might start to
I have it in a big flat tray for now just to keep it healthy until I find the right pot
I have had that problem with die back on the branches I wired so thanks for helping me understand why that's happening
Another thing I did in my ignorance, was cut the root balls down by like 75% to get them in little training pots, but they didn't seem to mind, they were quite vigorous the following year
Any thought s or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
Si
