I've never HBR, hope it goes well. Nice trunk movement
Thanks!I've never HBR, hope it goes well. Nice trunk movement
Thanks man!Looking healthy !
About the foliage im on the same page it looks like it is less coarse as i tought as well with mine, still shimpaku or chinensis is way tighter but this will do just fine on a large tree
When you plan on styling this one?
Looking forward to 2022 then!Thanks man!
I want to let it grow again this year, then HBR the other side in spring 2021.
Maybe in 2022 it will be ready for some style....
Oh....believe me, I'm thinking about it....but I'm resisting myself.Looking forward to 2022 then!
if it were mine I would think about styling this fall and repot the other half in spring 2021 since it looks like it's damn healthy but still patience never hurt a tree tough lol
That's basically what it has now a YUGE Trump combover.Now that's a challenge! Contrary to popular thinking, I would be inclined to reduce it to the closest foliage to the trunk, and then let it grow a few years. It seems very top heavy. Otherwise it will need a big Trump combover with the foliage to make it seem like it's lower.

If I were to start working now, I would try and take some of the longest whips and wire them and twist them hard and down to the right. Fill the circle.
I appreciate the look Al!Get a small canopy working in that void there and tuck it up under the weird curve in the trunk. accentuate that weirdness. Stip the bark on that big deadwood and make it look old.
Mike, the big branch (black) looks awkward. I'd be tempted to whack, jin, carve it. Shorten the red one and jin/carve it also. Then take the blue guy and wrap/wire the crap out of it and make a big bend with the blue guy like @Smoke suggested. Wait a couple of years for the dieback to occur, then shari the dead areas. Make sure you have a really good root base first. That's one idea anyway.

Much appreciated guys!i like what smoke sugests!
i cant help myself tough.... one of my habbits with material is turning it around change the angles in any possible way and look if something pops out to my eye.
i did also with your picture maybe not as extreme as the 90 degree left turn i used but maybe its something to consider as well
