Hello,
Here are a couple photos of my first bonsai that I began with about 5 years ago. I am a beginner and I've just been working on watering, fertilizing, light requirements, trimming, repotting, and wiring on test subjects. I have re-potted this tree twice since purchase. Now, I am ready to learn about styling and design. I know the basic concepts of taper and triangles. However, I dont know how to plan ahead for these things or anything about style. Please let me know your general thoughts or future options for this tree. Thanks in advance!

Hello.

I would go for something like this.

Well done. Thanks for the example. I think I will take this one to the club or a local pro to help me get there.

Welcome. This is definitely the place to learn. The first thing I learned was; a sapling in a small pot is not a bonsai, haha!
