Possible front 1. More dynamic left to right movement at the expense of less dynamic movement in the cascading trunk line. This might be lessened as sharis are added later in this tree's development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/512f903be4b0c338879604f1/1373327909343-N1MQQN3H8RM3QEQ30JRN/Procumbens+3+after.jpg Blog - Another procumbens gets styled. A more interesting choice of front. The only downside is less coherence in the movement of the main three trunk lines. This can be improved by slightly rearranging the lower trunks in relation to each other. All of the foliage needs tweaking to compact the tree with this front. For now, I've stressed this tree enough. Now is the tIme to let it recover. http://bonsaishinseiny.com/blog/2013/7/4/such-talented-bonsai-people-in-the-us monthly 0.5 2013-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/512f903be4b0c338879604f1/1372971165122-F7YJ1HEF8B6CBE2GLMLQ/Coastal+Redwood+7-3-13.jpg Blog - Such talented bonsai people in the U.S. Coastal redwood after seasonal work by Michael Feduccia. http://bonsaishinseiny.com/blog/2013/6/25/nobody-said-there-would-be-math monthly 0.5 2013-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/512f903be4b0c338879604f1/1372167609549-7TAMVTXFRKP9ED94I50R/_68302703_c0119184-arabidopsis_seedlings_in_lab-spl.jpg Blog - Nobody said there would be math...

I left lots of extra foliage on the tree since I did so much work at once. I look forward to really cleaning this up in the fall or winter. The bottom looks very heavy in the photo. There are actually two whole branches; one on each side. I may eleiminate once once I see how the tree reacts to the work. In the meantime, it goes in aftercare for a few weeks, then out in full sun in the garden. This is such great material; I look forward to working with students on these trees. http://bonsaishinseiny.com/blog/2013/5/15/new-bonsai-imports-to-europe monthly 0.5 2013-05-15 http://bonsaishinseiny.com/blog/2013/5/3/aftercare monthly 0.5 2013-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/512f903be4b0c338879604f1/1367593252202-QMEWRKOHRVVRJMNEDMOY/Big+RMJ+pushing+new+growth.jpg Blog - Aftercare Large Rocky Mountain Juniper pushing new growth just a week after its first repotting from post-collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/512f903be4b0c338879604f1/1367593343788-JNNK5YVJGNAJE3M8H0F0/Big+RMJ+pushing+new+growth+2.jpg Blog - Aftercare a closer shot of the large Rocky Mountain Juniper pushing new growth just a week after its first repotting from post-collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/512f903be4b0c338879604f1/1367593398153-BQWOAI5A01DBEQ06I486/Large+Hinoki+after+potting.jpg Blog - Aftercare This is a large field-grown Hinoki cypress after having been heavily pruned and potted for the first time.
