| Case history |
| Three months on since the tree was re-potted and it’s growing well, with lots of new shoots everywhere.
The tree was taken to our Artistic Bonsai Circle group meeting and along with the removal of some training wire had a lot of the new shoots pruned back to maintain the foliage pad outlines. |

October 2006 and the tree was taken to our Artistic Bonsai Circle group meeting to clean up the jins/shari and apply new lime sulphur. This was toned down by mixing Lac Balsam with the lime sulphur. Black ink can also be used as an additive for this purpose.
The tourniquets, which had been secured around the deadwood, which were holding the position of some of the branches were also removed as these branches had now set. |
