This is the first potting of the Han Kengai Yamadori Yew. its still got some filling out of the foliage to do so I have potted the tree in an oversize pot to give the roots more run. At this stage, I wanted to know the state of the roots and whether there we any large ones that need to be reduced. I was surprised that there were none. In the future, this tree can be potted in a much shallower and smaller pot. my friend Riccardo Vinciguerra assisted. You can see the earlier work here.

That branch takes your eye away from the whole composition. It needs to be shortened imo.
Bonsai is subjective and I love your input… the jin stays

I think the tree would look better if the large dead branch was removed or drastically reduced.
And then it would not be individual!
That would be a criminal act such a story in that branch.
damn right Alex
