Dawn Redwood 2nd Styling~

With all the recent rain, I was able to add movement to the trunk. When I first worked this tree, earlier this spring (see my earlier post, Dawn Redwood Transformed, below), once I got the arch in the trunk, it wouldn’t budge another millimeter.

Now in it’s new home, a pot made especially for this tree, it is beginning to take shape.

Go big or go home! My bonsai Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glptostrobidies) is going into its 4th year I believe. I've been meaning to take this cut for a long time and finally got the guts to do it. It once had 3 tops that I reduced to 1 but it I left this ugly knuckle where the other 2 tops use to be. I finally got the courage to cut it back below that knuckle before it really got too late. I feel like this was such a hard prune I'll wait for it to respond before I get a more definite shape on her for the season. #bonsai #bonsaitree #dawnredwood #dawnredwoodbonsai #prune #treepruning #bonsaipruning #zen #beherenow #pottedplants #houseplants #tree #staylifted #love #live #loveyourself #dowhatyoulove #garden #organicgardening

Refinement ~

It’s a long way from, “hey, that’s pretty good,” to the sublime. Often it’s the little things. I shared my first styling of my Transformed New Dawn Redwood with a local Bonsai artist for a critique. He suggested some movement in the arch of the trunk. I had that in my original sketch I drew the evening before working on this tree. But sometimes you can only take the material so far. But he’s right, just a bit of movement in the long arched section will add that something. At the moment, she just won’t budge. Perhaps when it has had sometime to settle into this radically different shape? In the meantime, I added some shape to the few branches at the apex.
