Well, it´s gonna be a long-term project but I´m expecting to get a small and powerful shohin out of it. Such projects are perfect opportunities to improve the horticultural skills.

Prunus Subhirtella Autumnalis
I have found this prunus in a local nursery. The only thing what caught my eye, was the massive nebari. The upper part is absolutely boring (it´s straight) - that´s why I´m looking forward to create the prospectice crown with only new shoots.

Hi Bonsai Monkey,Great find.
AntwortenLöschenYou can make it shorter in February,than the tree will heal better.
If I where you,I make the left thick branch the new top.[the third branch from the nebari to the top]
You can use the Hans van Meer method in the top,it is difficult to tell what this is.
But I will take a try,it is a technique that you hollow out the wood and you leave enough bark on both sides that you can put it together and it heals naturally in a couple off years.
But it is better to google the Hans van Meer method,and you see it in drawing and with the explanation from Hans.
Greetings Ed
