This is the little Corkie that I got back in February. It was repotted and then cut back hard to try and improve the ramification in a more organised way. Here are the photos during the year showing it’s progress.

Here’s a close up of the offending moss.


March
Leggy branch structure that needed improved.


May
After pruning…

September
Has been trimmed back several times between May and September.

and now…

It’s a slow process but hopefully worth it in the long run.
I like it!!!
Good work!! Patience is all in bonsai and your plants are in the right way!

Looking good so far. I particularly like the base — very much the look of a mature, stable tree ready to face the storms.

great job getting rid of the moss – did you do it by hand or with a spray ?

Hi Marcus, Done by hand with tweezers as there was so much of it. I didn’t want it lifting the bark. Now that it’s cleared, I’ll give it the odd spray to keep it in check.
