This compares the decandling results from last year and this. I prefer last years image so far. This year felt like one step forward and two back, but I never selected for bifurcation last year, so in a sense I was starting over on ramification to remove the knuckles that formed.
This second, more recent picture sure reveals the flaws in bonsai artist's work.
What do you think of this bottom branch? It was a little bud in the sacrifice that I left on and grew out when I started dealing with the massive sacrifice branch.
My friend thinks I should remove the branch I am pointing at and bring a long branch down from the branch above.
The apex needs to be redone, but that is very doable.
I am wondering if long term, I should airlayer off the long straight section and self graft in a new leader.
