      I'm interested to see what shape you decided to go with. Did you chop off that tall branch? or decided to keep it? If the latter, I think it's kinda skinny with that height. I would probably keep this plant in the large pot or in the ground to train and grow the trunk out thicker. Or get rid of the tall branch and repot this tree in a small shallow pot giving it a larger impression. Just my thoughts... I'm still learning like you.

      After 1 hour shaping

      The tree has a leaning trunk which attracted me
      It has lower branches which I can separate into even blossoms
      I did not do much to the top yet since it going to develop flowers soon
      I planted several camellia trees in ground about 8 years ago and their trunks are stocky so I decide do try this one today in the pot

      I like the form coming from the lower branches and how it can make the trunk seem bigger. Not sure if I see the form with tall branch sticking up so high. Maybe if cut back half way you can start a new top canopy? Giving it an overall triangle shape? Then again, don't mind me, I don't have much experience here either. LOL

      There smaller branches in the middle which I still like to incorporate them.

      LOL. Definitely inspirational. I can only mimic those bonsai using budget plants. Most of those bonsai are older than you and I. Love your passion and looking forward to seeing your collections.

      More young plants

      I drove by this nursery many times but today I decided to stop by
      There quiet many varieties
      But I found a few with neat shape also very affordable and still flexible to play
      I need to get some materials, pots to work on the weekend
      So to be continued.....

      I’ve been so busy lately
      Was able to fix up the 2 camellia at least in the right pots
      Can’t wait until they bloom

      where did you buy those bonsai wire from? I saw them on Ebay, but wonder if you could use wire from Home Depot?
