looking at your Neagari...
Lol...I'm half scared to look now.You should see my uvula.....
Stunning tree! Studying your branches...have one of my own. BVF offered up how one handles developing awhile back. And...I can grasp the direction I need to take. But...admiring yours for sure.Pruned back this bushy pyracantha to a manageable place. Now just have to wait for buds. Plenty of time left for me, winter does not hit until Feb, 12 and spring is on the 13th.
Ahhh I've been an admirer of Sonny's work...custom a pot for me too. Bunzun...I'm tired...the name sort of clicks. If you ever get tired of one...let me know...maybe we could work out a deal. I appreciate your sharing for us to appreciate and learn.The top one is in a Sonny Boggs pot and the blue pot is by Bunzun
He said uvula!You should see my uvula.....
It sure is.Wet is good!
That is a good photo. Its tough to tell the size of the tree. It looks much bigger than it is. Probably never heard that before, right Al.On page 18 I repotted this maple into its first pot. I took what I consider a pretty good photo.
This is the update with leaves. Tree is 11 inches tall and 6 inches across the base. Working on moving the apex about 1.5 inches to the left.

That's why his photo shoot for Playgirl went so well.. It looks much bigger than it is
That's an interesting observation. Put a tree on a table with 20 people and ten will say it needs more closure on the front and ten will say it needs to be opened up to see the trunk.I like it, I kinda want to see a little more closure in the front though.
I think the "closure" will occur naturally as the branches age and thicken and you continue developing the secondary and tertiary ramification. I think it looks good, but know it will look better.That's an interesting observation.

Who's correct? Makes my head hurt thinking about it....so I don't.
I don't need to see the pic of you in your thong and kitchen apron, with your tea towel, patting each leaf dry!Not for fungus. I have to stand there and dry each leaf after the picture![]()
