I bought this tree a little over a year ago from Mendocino Coast Bonsai. Since then, I’ve focused mainly on the deadwood, doing a lot of carvng and cleanup and clarification of what was already there, and adding a feature here and there as well. The last few weeks I’ve been working with the canopy, adding just a little order to the wild nature these tree’s foliage can have.
