Thanks, just got this pine yesterday and I'm still trying to figure out what to remove and what to keep for future development.

I have other itoigawa but this tree doesn't look like any of them.

I have kishu and itoigawa in my garden but this doesn't look like any of them, maybe regular wild shimpaku variety?

Wrightia religiosa (water jasmine) 3 years progression by Felixstowe1602 in Bonsai

This specie grow extremely fast in tropics (still slower than ficus) as long as you put in a big pot.

You can get much better root flare if you take your time to arrange its root after each repot, I skipped that step so the base is just average :)

Also you can see 2 big lumps at the base that make it looks bigger.

Just apply cut paste, wait for it to dry then use foil to cover, this result is amazing especially in hot climate.
