Just curious, why did you defoliate?Defoliated and new leaves on the way. I cut back some long branches.

Not intentionally, I think I stressed it out. I may have given it too much iron. Leaves just dropped off, but it's growing back in less than a week. I just took advantage of it being bare to look at branching and do minor cuts.Just curious, why did you defoliate?
While I think that's seriously nice stock, it's got a long way from being bonsai and too early for that price. It appears to have been collected, chopped and potted. Some light pruning after growth.Inspiration
That would be fun explaining to my husbandInspiration
Yes, Bunsan or Bunzan. Here's a picture with me cheating to get flowers The flowers look almost pink for some reason. There are darker purples, but this is the kind mine is.I like that yellow pot BUT, for me, its use here depends very heavily on the flower color and I didn't see any pix of flowers in the thread. Without flowers, this pot will tend to be the visual focus instead of the tree. Periwinkle/lavender purples look good to my eye with limey greens. Deeper purples would be great with this yellow. Pinkish purples really pop with dark blues.
Anyway, you've got some great pots @thumblessprimate1. This yellow (Bunzan?) is no exception.
I would have placed the tree a little more to the right. Just off center, but on the right of center.Curious about my positioning of my tree. @Adair M or anomybody. Did I plant the tree in a good spot? Should it be more to the side of the primary trunk? I outlined how i imagine where the canopy will grow to with time. I'm thinking maybe it should be more to the side of the primary trunk now.

Yeah. I didnt think that until I got through repotting and looking at the pictures. I'll move at next repot. I appreciate your input.I would have placed the tree a little more to the right. Just off center, but on the right of center.
