I wanted to start a progression thread on this shimpaku I bought a couple of weeks ago (and show it off!) I was actually looking for a nice pot for another tree, when I found this twisty shimpaku. It was the dead stump that really caught my eye.

I should really clean up the deadwood!
In september I can finally take it the workshop. My goal is to create pads around and through the deadwood to really frame it. I haven't figured out what the best composition would be. There are two trunks and I'd like the live one up front, but then all the deadwood would be on the back of the tree.
If I pick side A as the front, the main trunk would show a pigeon breast... Side B would show both the live vain and the deadwood of the live trunk. I could then tilt it to the right, as if the dead tree was cascading from a cliff and died off. So many options!
But for now, I just need to keep it healthy!
