Yes i hope it will look even better next year Kath as I also want to improve the jins, which are a little on the thick side at the mo.

RoyH (03/04/2010)
just a minor update. following extensive work on this shrub, the buds are starting to open out with flowers in evidence, i know this is perhaps not classed as a bonsai by the purist, but i love it. today i added some more wire to give it a windswept appearance & the foliage together with the deadwood looks lovely. more updates to follow when the flowers appear.
Wow, the shrub is growing beautifully RoyH.
Anyways, I love your garden so much. Wish I could have a garden like that also.

| yes Kath, the new leaves are also larger than the original ones that came with the flowers. I realy like the old looking trunk on this tree, it will be interesting next year when the new growth emerges, i will keep you updated.

It filled out nicely Roy. Shall you let it flower next year?
