Here is a shohin, that despite it's size is rather old... I pulled it out of my folks yard while re-landscaping with easily maintenaced plants since they are getting older. It had been planted some 15 years before, I remember when they did it and it was not a small plant then... unfortunately neglect of watering which it was then presumed dead and stumped, then continual lawnmower chopping had added to it's demise. I when working on their yard actually triped over it, it was growing allong the edge of their grass.
I dug it up 4 years ago and have been working on it since. It has some rather nice dead wood. Unfortunately because of it's size I will never be able to allow it to grow out a flower. Unless the trunk size is increased. It has been wired a couple of times and needs further refinement, as well as another pot. The peagravel as a top dressing is mainly to keep the weeds down, since we get so much rain, they would take over if not.
