Top; The bonsai shown in May 2016, with the design as envisioned Bottom; To change the style, the tree was planted into a very deep pot
by the seller, a twin trunk style. and tilted the trunks in a more upright position to speed up growth.
On May 2016, I tried to put it into a bonsai pot and
shaped it like the seller intended, a twin trunk design.
I used small wires to wire all the twigs and tried to di-
vide branches and twigs into layers. I bent the bottom
trunk a bit lower to show some flow on the trunk. It
finally turned into a nice bonsai as you can see above.
It had a good stability. The trunks that slanted to the
right was supported by the strong root base on the
right side.
However, the more I looked at it as an artist, I start-
ed to think of another option where I would be able
to make this bonsai better and it would be an original
design by me. I had completed the unfinished job of
the first designer, but to realize what I had in my mind,
I put the tree back into a big pot—this time into a big,
deep pot to speed up the growth of the plant.
I tilted the plant to straighten the trunks so that the
plant would grow quicker (bottom right).
