This bald cypress was collected four years ago in Franklinton, Louisiana, by +
Unlike the last tree I showed you, this one has already been cut and carved—you can see where it healed over time. I’ve learned a lot since then:
❌ I don’t use cut paste anymore
✅ I carve deeper now for better tapering
✅ Sometimes, you have to re-carve and refine—because bonsai is never really "done"
That’s the beauty of the process. You just keep working until you get it right. 🌱
