Always enjoyable to watch you take raw material/trees and 'tame' them. Its a little disconcerting how easy you make it look when in fact you make hard decisions so quickly...Maybe there is a lesson in that - 'More is lost with indecision than if with wrong decisions'...So enjoyable to watch your process, Thanks for sharing...

I think it will be pretty good in a couple of years. Every cut you did was making the trunk look bigger in proportion. No doubt it will shoot out all over this summer.

[@chrismarshall8321]

Hopefully. Thanks

Looking at this tree, I bet you could get yourself a small birds nest from one of your hobby stores. They also sell small eggs. I bet that would look cool in this tree. Just a thought on it. You had my mind thinking.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Those are some big thorns on this tree. Looks cool though.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Major pruning getting this tree ready for some nice spring growth.

[@chrismarshall8321]

Thanks tom

[@KennetDeBondt]

Difficult tree: well done!

[@chrismarshall8321]

Yes in more ways than one. Thanks Kennet

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Will these cuttings root, even though the tree is in a dormant state? Might be a good experiment.

[@chrismarshall8321]

Probably would but I have enough of them.
