First styling was performed by roughly breaking the too long trunk down to Mame-size.

Deadwood is worked on, and a weak branch that died over the winter called for restyling of the branch structure. Dealing with Mame-bonsai can be delicate, because a single branch may be what half the canopy is build upon.

The new canopy is now developing satisfyingly.

The Mame-bonsai now shows its potential. At this state, the right pot has not been found yet. The present one is to small at this time.

I now think the small tree has reached a satisfyingly level. The branch structure still can be improved in details, but the overall shape of the tree and the new pot fits well.
Next is to shorten a thick old roots stump which over time has been worked on, to be replaced by smaller new roots. This in order to be able to plant the tree deeper in the pot.
At this moment it is
positioned too
high.
Autumn. Height: 9,5 cm. Pot: John Pitt.
