Will do, if I remember  I won't be doing anything until next year apart from maybe trying to get a bit of wire onto the branches before they get too stiff and straight.

Good progress. Perhaps the key is an update every 5 years! We bonsai artists are playing a long game.

Looking good, Daryl. Cotoneasters are one of the most under-appreciated species for Bonsai. I have seen some amazing raw material in peoples front gardens. |

I really like it. Have you mounded the soil up a bit higher to see if that changes the way it looks? It might be worth planting the "ends" a bit deeper and in a flatter pot?  Screenshot_20240530_230017_Samsung Internet by BrendanR2012, on Flickr

That’s food for thought, Brendan. It does give a different look putting it in a different pot. I’ll try a few options next time I repot. It’s definitely a ‘work in progress’ |

I like the slab, very much like one I did as a raft......... would look like a tree fallen over and rooted with time. |
