    Thank you very much, this piece makes it easier to apiepcrate the time and work that goes in creating a bonsai. Truly a labour of love and dedication. Carry on the good work

    You are getting very pretty ramification that does not too much compromise the stark impression of the base.

    I hope you can find the right balance for the head, and that that forest of new growth is manageable.

    Carpinus betulus (?) is a favourite tree of mine. This one is beautiful!
