Awesome initial styling
Thank you. Still deciding which front to use
@@BaikoenBonsaiI like the backside as the tree looks much fuller. Once you shape the branches I think it would be an amazing specimen one day 🎉 cheers
This bonsai is a beast definitely use the back as the front. I personally like the hollow parts but still change the back to front.
Fair enough!
Much more interesting from backside. Depth of tree is emphasized and your point about main trunk leaning forward is important consideration. That's a brute!
Absolutely
👍👌
Thank you for watching
Backside as new front looks better to me !
Ahha I kinda leaning that way every single I walk by it.
Great video i like the back personally
Yeah me too
That back side doesn't have anything going on at the bottom. No roots to see and a trunk that just plunges straight down into the soil. It almost gives it a reverse taper at the base before the trunks separate. Also, when you have three thick trunks like that in a clump you don't want your main biggest trunk to be so strongly at the front like that, it takes over the whole composition. I like your original front, but when you moved a little to your left and you could see the whole base and the three big trunks.
Thank you for the comments and insight. I'm going to keep the front for now, the back is a bit straight but I havent exposed the root base on that backside yet. I'll get around to it in a couple of months.
Tom. Please use the Back side as New Front. Tom do you have Instagram? Need some help. Thanks. Greg of Ohio
