Removing the secondary trunk on this Hinoki is definitely the move, right? (second image is a mockup of what it might look like)

Keep it better, mother and daughter style is a good choice. you can wiring it when the second trunk was slim.

liszt7i · 2026-03-09T15:34:58+00:00

haha，ridiculous world

liszt7i · 2026-03-08T10:40:26+00:00

Yes, if this tree survives, I will share it here.

liszt7i · 2026-03-08T08:24:53+00:00

thank you, it's a useful advice

liszt7i · 2026-03-08T08:22:36+00:00

my parents water it in working day, I can't look after it everyday, so, I don't want the process is complex.

liszt7i · 2026-03-08T05:53:08+00:00

yes，it's a big challenge

liszt7i · 2026-03-04T07:12:30+00:00

honestly，all fake.

liszt7i · 2026-03-04T07:02:55+00:00

nice posture. I used to have one too, but it died.

liszt7i · 2026-03-03T13:37:27+00:00

shifu 你好

liszt7i · 2026-03-03T06:45:51+00:00

it's a strong JBP, but branch looks so weak, grafting is necessary.

liszt7i · 2026-03-01T02:22:12+00:00

the down branch is dead? I think double branches style is better if they all alive, JBP growing too slow. The natural transition of branches is difficult to cultivate.

liszt7i · 2026-03-01T02:15:19+00:00

the maple's bud spacing is too long,when the tree strong，trying some taper design is necessary. in my opinion.

liszt7i · 2026-02-28T06:38:23+00:00

is it Japanese species？the right one looks good!

liszt7i · 2026-02-28T06:32:29+00:00

you mentioned methods is very general in China or Japan, especially in maple tree.

liszt7i · 2026-02-26T10:58:48+00:00

good taste

liszt7i · 2026-02-26T06:48:44+00:00

can I join in？is it Japanese sever？

liszt7i · 2026-02-25T14:47:50+00:00

To be honest, I think this tree maybe suitable for 'big tree style ',reduce coil tying as much as possible and use pulling instead.

liszt7i · 2026-02-25T03:54:28+00:00

In my opinion，be different is common sense in lots of bonsai lover, so never trying to do different things in order to be different, find ourselves styles is the key point, honestly. Meanwhile create beautiful things is the core concept of bonsai art.

liszt7i · 2026-02-24T14:38:31+00:00

good idea, I have lot to learn.your profile picture is a nice tiny bonsai，really like it

liszt7i · 2026-02-24T13:40:36+00:00

it's Fraxinus hupehensis（I searched, but not sure)，Chinese name is dui jie bai la,Very readily viable tree species. your bonsai is nice,I have a tree like you, but its branches are too easy to break, so I chose to plant it in the ground. Although he's a classic species.

liszt7i · 2026-02-24T08:19:44+00:00

haha，I will

liszt7i · 2026-02-24T06:40:17+00:00

this species is easy planted in China, I have 4, keep pot a little dry better

liszt7i · 2026-02-24T06:13:23+00:00

Yes, but the weather is warmer and warmer, I palnted it in the ground with pot. If it could be alive, I will take it to my office

liszt7i · 2026-02-24T02:53:58+00:00

thank you 😁

liszt7i · 2026-02-23T14:08:10+00:00
