With what you are beginning with, I vote for option 3. The projected movement and size of it would be something to have fun with, working for that complementary overall design.
I would most like to see option 1. Not sure that’s the best design for the tree necessarily but it would provide the most interesting learning experience and experiment I believe. Otherwise option 3
#1: I have a tree I’m thinking about going that route and would like to see the progress. Completely a selfish decision. I really enjoy your videos, thank you for all the great content!
If it were my tree, I'd take the third option. I think that it will look the best and the tree is pointing in that style. As far as a learning exercise, I'd prefer you to take the axe and chop it as you mentioned in option 1. I have no idea what that will look like or how to do it.
Option 1 the Bunjin I think it is the most interesting and the opportunity to learn the most. Thank you for asking for the viewers input. I enjoy watching and learning from you.
With the hollow and n the trunk, I like option 3 it would make a great informal tree show casing all its strengths. Looking forward to see how the design vote goes. Thanks
Option #1 Only because it sounds like it would be the most dramatic to see for a UA-cam video ... but maybe not a good reason for the tree? On the other hand, if the tree survives we might be able to learn the most from that one?
Hi Three options that are all good styling options to create a great tree, from my point of view I would be inclined to go with option three which will have more emphasis on the trunk movement and the deadwood feature.
Hello Milton, this is very interesting! Yes, please let us participate on the progress of your work, on this beautiful maple. I really do appreciate your videos … thank you very much! Greetings from Germany! Michael
Option one would be most interesting to watch and follow. If it would be my tree I would prefer the more conventional option two. As it is not my tree I would like to see option 1 realized.
I must admit I allways had a weak spot for informal upright... however, It seems honestly, the best option. A good formal upright should have a perfect straight trunk, wich is not the case. Also the trunk seems too thick for a bunjin. However, in case it is styled as informal upright I would suggest to plant it slightly inclined to right in order to improve tachiagari
I’d really like to see your thoughts on a “bonsai”, but more of accent trees growing in my gardens I have a mimosa and wisteria that I want to keep small and in a bonsai style, but more around 5 to 6 feet tall
Both can be beautiful bonsai! Mimosa I have not tried but I see them full of blossom in bonsai books. Let us know how it works out for you if you try it. I have several wisteria, but I have not seen one bloom until it is quite large. I let them grow wild in the garden, cut back to about 18” high and then let it grow out again…so the base is now >6" diameter. Expect it to bloom next spring…I may show you on video. Stay tuned!
@@bonsaiheirloom I’ll make this story as short as possible. My mimosa tree was about 20 feet tall but split in the middle and I cut it down to the stump this past spring. And from that stump and root system, I cut off hundreds of saplings and kept 2 of the most healthy looking ones, and one is already as tall as I am.
#3, preserve the trunk. It's beautiful.
Option 1 sounds really interesting project
I would like you go with option 1 I think its more challenging
With what you are beginning with, I vote for option 3. The projected movement and size of it would be something to have fun with, working for that complementary overall design.
Option 1 is the most bold and creative. Go for it!
I would most like to see option 1. Not sure that’s the best design for the tree necessarily but it would provide the most interesting learning experience and experiment I believe. Otherwise option 3
I vote for number 3. Sounds like a fun design with lots of futurs options and variations, including reverting back to #1, if desired in the future.
Option #1!!!!
Option 1 sounds very interesting
I do think opt 1 sounds unique and interesting
Option 1 sounds very interesting. Thank you for your videos.
option 3 is the safest i think but id love to see the 1st one
I would go for scheme 1
design #2 is cool!! but #1 could be very interesting
Option 3 is my favorite, but I'd love to see what you do with it, regardless of which path is chosen!
I think 3rd option. I DO wonder if you did do the first option, would you be able to make two separate bonsais.
I vote for Option 3 🌳
option 2 has my vote
I really like option 3. Thanks for sharing
#1: I have a tree I’m thinking about going that route and would like to see the progress. Completely a selfish decision. I really enjoy your videos, thank you for all the great content!
Like option 3
Option 3
Option 1. I think that will be the most dramatic.
Option 3 😎

I think an informal upright style will complement the tree beautifully.
Option Milton for me is 3
Option 1 the Bunjin I think it is the most interesting and the opportunity to learn the most. Thank you for asking for the viewers input. I enjoy watching and learning from you.
Option 3 , i like how there is lots of curves already
Very interested to see option 1.
With the hollow and n the trunk, I like option 3 it would make a great informal tree show casing all its strengths. Looking forward to see how the design vote goes. Thanks
#3 is best
option #1 for me :)
Nice maple tree, I like option 3
Option 3 please
I like the texture change in the graph mark
Option 3 would be nice
definitely 3 , trunk worth keeping.
No 3 sounds very interesting!
I think option 1 would be very interesting to see how to do. By the way you do very nice work.
#1 bunjin style. I would love to see the challenge of turning this powerful trunk into something delicate.
The heavy metal artist in me wants to see option #1
Un grand merci pour la vidéo! Option 3
Hello Milton, I would like to see the development of the tree starting from option # 3.
I'd like to see Option #2. It's a classic form of bonsai and one of my favorites.
Option 1!
A good opportunity to watch you working on a unique style.
Option #1 Only because it sounds like it would be the most dramatic to see for a UA-cam video ... but maybe not a good reason for the tree?

Hi Three options that are all good styling options to create a great tree, from my point of view I would be inclined to go with option three which will have more emphasis on the trunk movement and the deadwood feature.
Option 3 sounds good
Perhaps the trunk is a little too thick for a bunjin, despite its beautiful shape. I'd go with option 3! Thanks Milton
please option number 3.
Option 3 please. 😊
I like option #1 as well
Thank you for taking the time and showing the various options within one tree
Yes, each tree has many possibilities! It can be difficult to choose just one!
I prefer Option 3 😊
Option 3 for sure! I'm in a very similar design dilemma so I'm super intrigued 😊
Option #1
I'd say option 3
🎆
🌲👑
Option 3 to keep the trunk
Option #3
I would love to see option 3
Option 3 please
The second option😉🙂
I think option 3 would be best
Option number 3
Option 2, for the pretty leaf in the future.
I think the option 1 is Bunjin the best it give me the best learning option.
Hi I would go for Options 3
I'm a sucker for the standard formal upright. Option 2
Option 3❤
Option 3
Option 1
I prefer the 2nd option, formal upright. I don’t see what the first option is? When you split it will it be a twin trunk?
I like option 3
Love your videos keep it up louis
option 3 for me, seems like it has nice curves and decent tapering
Hello Milton,
this is very interesting! Yes, please let us participate on the progress of your work, on this beautiful maple. I really do appreciate your videos … thank you very much!

Hi, Sir, I would also suggest Option 3
3rd option
I would choose option number 3.
I would love to see your first option although you will make all options look amazing!
I like #3 but all extra rear branches should be removed to promote a tapered trunk and single apex.
I like the first
Option one would be most interesting to watch and follow. If it would be my tree I would prefer the more conventional option two. As it is not my tree I would like to see option 1 realized.
I vote for option 3.
#3 🙂

#3 😊
The top is a Japanese maple, correct? What is the root stock its grafted to?
Number 3.
First choice is option 3. Second choice is option 1.
I must admit I allways had a weak spot for informal upright... however, It seems honestly, the best option. A good formal upright should have a perfect straight trunk, wich is not the case.

It’s obviously very weak and is held up by string and an old broom handle.
