I would like to add that this is indeed already quite controversial tree and landscape - since I published it after creation, when I was doing bonsai just 1 year, I am getting so many advices as to what to do with it, although my vision is clear from the start and the tree is getting exactly where I want it to be. Not that I do not listen to advices, thanx to one friend I finally did cut the branch that was looking pretty straight in the pics and I was thinking of it, but never did before.
But if I obeyed all the advices I got so far, I would be left probably just with the roots.
One wouldn´t advice me to create at all, because I do not know the alphabeth yet and I am already writing a novel. Other people would remove the back trunk, another the tallest right one, and another would leave just the base and make it a shohin. Another friend would put it into a bonsai pot :)
Well, I like it exactly as it is and where it is going :)
So this was just to say that if you have a vision of your own, follow it and the time will tell if you made the right decisions. Or you might change your mind after few years as you grow as a bonsai enthusiast as I did in few other instances too. BUT if you KNOW it is going to look good the way you plan - go for it :)
I cannot wait for spring to make some cuts on the left trunks to make them more visible and not hidden by smaller branches :)

Just one year, and yet another person who thought he could simply do bonsai.

Yet... now I'm the one who would ask you for advise if I want to make a pening :)
