Didn't repot, no post-prune photo, life's a b&@$#, and then you have a tree.
I'll do it tomorrow, after I go to work for free...'cause yeah, that's where my world is.
Hey, thanks for watching. photo from 7-16...

Reigned in. Lots of rain clearing the "deck". Scar down low might heal-up 6-7 more years? Dr. Lou was at New England Bonsai couple weeks ago on a demo, so hey, I can try a re-pot, right?
@Hartinez , this is a tree that I had in mind when I purchased one of your fine tables(feel free to provide a IG link). Not sure the blue pot will be the final one.

I love it Lance. This tree keeps having me inspired to get a BRT. What stops me is my desire to downsize my tropicals! That stand also I always felt needed a tree with a wider canopy. I could see it sitting lovely like atop.View attachment 387883

What stops me from my desire to downsize my tropicals is a fascination with BRT and bougainvillea. Well, and ficus, but c'mon.

Lesser tree died back about half-way so my intentions shifted. Growing out the larger for cuttings and such and will re-imagine a new design.
Larger trunk is pretty straight for a BRT. Has a bit of nice taper at soil level with some nice root characteristics. I'll orientate more up-right and "start over".

with a tough root-prune and tender care, in ya' go this spring....
...thoughts of a tight little grove inside a colorful pot are pure.....

I've never had much luck with BRT cuttings, any tips?

woody cuttings, maybe year old wood, should root fairly reliably...any "bonsai soil" you have been using should be a good medium.....
......I didn't "tent" or provide bottom heat but used a bit of rooting-hormone...not sure if that lingered too long after a few waterings, but might have been a week or more between those initial waterings...
I would wait until new buds formed at the base of old leaves on the cutting in question and cut then. If there were any leaf I would remove all but the "furthest" out.

Maybe I'll try again this summer. Mine did not do their normal leaf drop when brought in this fall and will need some serious pruning.
