Nice Scott! Your tree is almost in my league
I have a few in bonsai containers a little larger than yours (not much though)and two others only collected in the last two seasons that will be larger as well. In my experience, the larger the tree the easier it is to develop!!
BTW...I repot nearly all of my BC in midsummer...combined with defoliation.

Thanks John. Every time I tell myself that I've got enough large trees I end up with something like this. From now on, real Texas shohin is shorter than a Shiner.
Any reason you have a preference for summer repotting? Have you had more success than in the spring?

a little wire and I think that could be a really nice tree quickly...someone has spent some time developing the ramification. Do you know how long it has been in development?
maybe I should say "a lot of wire"
It'll be a lot of wire, no doubt. I know a bit about the history of the tree, but not a lot. I'd guess it was collected over 20 years ago.

Mark I want to say this tree looks familiar. I think possibly it was owned by Guy at one point, I saw it on his website. I could be wrong though. Keep us posted, nice addition to your collection.

I've always repotted mine in late winter just before leaf break. I repotted this one a couple of weeks ago - bare rooted it (what roots there were - root development was very poor). It's now budding out strongly all over the tree. I understand folks do summer repotting combined with defoliation and that BC tolerate it well, but I prefer in-season repotting unless it can't be avoided.

Cut back and thinning. A bit late, but spring is SO early this year.

Autumn came today for the big BC.
Cutback is next - I’ll do it in early spring.

Such a BEAST! Have you thought about hollowing out the dead area on the front of the trunk?
