Hinoki #2

[PeaceLoveBonsai]

Here’s a Hinoki Cypress I picked up a couple of years ago.

Here’s the earliest picture I have from 2023:


Here it is before work in 2024:


The after: I cut from 4 branches to 3


Then today:

Plan to repot in spring. Might cut off another branch and make it a twin trunk. Not sure.

Might cut off another branch and make it a twin trunk. Not sure.

If it were my tree, I wouldn't. I think it has interesting, unique lines. It looks very naturalistic to me - not just the same old cookie-cutter twin trunk. You just need age and refinement.

You might want to lean the first trunk out a little bit to increase the spacing between it and the second trunk. That way as you tighten up your foliage you will be able to create a cleaner break between the three trunks.
