Treasure beech
Height: 700 mm
Trunk width: 15 mm (just over the little lump at the nebari)
Growing according to plan, slow but accurate. Still following the guide from bonsai4me.com (the advanced beech-pruning) The clue is keep new shoots down. After growing to 4-5 leaves i cut away so that only two leaves remain on each shoot.
The wiring has made the wood solid, so it will soon be removed. Now if it would only produce some new shoots further down the trunk... There are some promising buds so time will show.
