2015-08-04 SBBK first Tues workshop:
- Wire only for a few months to avoid wire marks.
- Separate into two pots.
- Let it grow!
- Not a common bonsai-ed tree,perhaps due to Compound leaf!
- Don't leaf trim; grow trunk for some years first. Make leaves smaller later; there is no memory or cumulative effect.
- Roots need a lot of work at next repot already.

This is as close to in the ground as I've got now. Lots of earth so it's stabler tempature and moisture. Keep trimming.
