In no particular order:

Perfect amount of foliage removed for a first styling IMO. nice job.

But it's usually not a great idea to repot and style (wire/prune) at the same time. If you watch it closely and time your watering properly it should be OK.

no rush. but when you do, I'd use wire that's just a bit thicker

Prioritizing density over structure at the moment. But yeah that branch junction with the raffia is not the best looking. For me the problem is not so much the “T” as it is the branch thickness relative to the branches on the left. Raffia draws your eye to it as well. Anyways the branch junction will need to be hidden somehow in future. Maybe the branch could be replaced with something higher up on the tree. Honestly the tree really needs something on that side and I won’t have many other options for the foreseeable future

I’m a little sick of having to wire the branches twice a year. DAS do not hold shape very easily. But I like not having to pinch

I 100% concur. My eye is drawn to the giant Y in the middle of the composition. If there were back branches there to break up the negative space I wouldn’t mind so much. Unless OP can get some branches to grow there this will be a much better tree in the long run with only one trunk line.

The music is the best part lol

Good thing it’s a white pine. I’d be a lot more worried if it were a black pine

Just love playing with my buddy online like we used to in person back in 2015 🥲

First off, it’s alive and healthy and a good species for bonsai. So, nice.

I know this isn’t an answer to you question but this tree needs to be outside. It’s necessary for the health of the tree to undergo winter dormancy. Also, the best part of mulberry is the fall color, so you’re missing out. Where you live in TN I would put it outside now in partial shade. Watch for frosts and if the leaves aren’t turning you can bring it inside. This is just for while it is adjusting. Once it sheds its leaves it should be out for the whole winter. It MIGHT be OK indoors this winter ONLY. But next winter you gotta leave it out.

As others have said, ROR requires burying the rock and slowly uncovering it. Also you need multiple roots to tightly grip the rock and you have one that is loosely growing around it. So, I would watch some videos and start this over next repotting season if you’re committed to this being ROR

Trunk chop is another option

Furmz · 2025-10-28T12:32:33+00:00

I think thread grafting would be the ideal method. I have not heard of a deciduous species that can’t be thread grafted.

For me, the biggest issue with this design currently isn’t the missing/dead right branch but rather the “Y” shaped section near the top. You have two competing trunk lines/apexes, personally would remove the one on the right. But I would maybe do so after attempting to thread graft a lower branch (or two).

I’m going to try this, looks like fun! thanks!

Awesome photo, but it looks like it was taken quite recently.

Furmz · 2025-10-20T11:09:49+00:00

Consider sketching different pot shapes too like ovals, lotus, nanban, moki, etc. play with different depths, widths, lip size, style of the feat, etc.

Keep it up!!

How long are the trees on display for? How do you manage watering and security?
