hi all
a few months ago there was a draw at our club, the prize being a £50 voucher to spend at derbyshire bonsai centre.
i was lucky enough to win it
now, for fifty quid, you don't get much and this deshojo maple has one sided branching and a two root nebari but there was just something about it (dunno what it is though:blink
i went with a hundred pounds in my pocket to get a nicer tree but this one was exactly fifty pounds and i couldn't see anything that took my fancy for upto £150.
the one-sided deshojo
the maples are my favourite deciduous trees
john
btw, forgot to say, it stands about 22" tall or thereabouts
i used to be indescisive- but now i'm not so sure

| You lucky chap John . I would say just let it 'grow out further' on the right hand side to counteract the imbalance, then later further work can be done

Nice win there John,
Check out how it looks with just tilting the potting angle a little.
I think you have a tree that will look awesome in just a few years.

Is there any progress to report this year John?
My name is Don and I'm a bonsaiholic. Now, where are those tablets?
