Its not called a bonsai if you just let it grow old... by: Wachingsmachin
the thing with this one is that, from the very start try pruning it & wiring it, its not called a bonsai if you just let it grow and hope what it does...there are patterns, ofcourse from those patterns you must learn to shape it like your own style...Not make something up...This tree has no direction...more like a bush...so remember its not the years that counts in bonsai, its the art plus the age...so start good to get good praise...haha...well you get my point...just saying it straight forward...this is a nice specimen...i see your also not pruning its roots every year or so...learn the basics man... It will make your future art excellent...even good...
