This is more recent work on the tree whose early development was described at https://beginbonsai.net/2020/05/18/willow-leaf-ficus-ficus-salicifolia/. In the past couple of days I removed one of the trunks, defoliated it and applied some wire.

The tree today.

The tree two days ago with its original twin-trunks on a bad-hair day.

One trunk removed.

The tree at another angle.

A third angle.

The tree this morning with the trunk wound to the back.

Approximately the same angle after defoliation.

Another angle.

The approximate new “front” after branch-pruning, before wiring.
