Decided to do some jin work to my Yew today

[Likebull1]

I've had a Yew laying around that I've been meaning to get to and I finally made some time today. I left the branches longer to jin. I still might reduce the left branch a little more and bend it downwards. I want to give it the feel of a heavy branch that pulled itself downward and eventually died and snapped off.

I also added a little more soil after that (not pictured) because the damn squirrels keep digging into this tree in particular and I have no clue why! I'm thinking about covering it in chicken wire.

(Don't worry. The tree is kept outside)

That looks nice. I enjoy seeing the progress of other's trees. It gives me something to strive towards.

Thank you!
It's funny because this tree was literally garbage to the nursery and I have a deal with them to take their trees from the recovery mat. $20 for smaller and $25 for larger.
Can you believe this tree was almost trashed and I only paid $25 for it?!

I love it because they all know me as "The Bonsai Guy" there and they are always curious to see what tree I'm working on.
It's a great relationship.

I'm in SE Pennsylvania. I actually tried to add my location a while back and it wasn't working for some reason so I forgot to try again lol. I'll add it now.
