Buttonwood....

This is a Buttonwood tree.  It grows native to the Keys, Miami and other areas that are very tropical and wet.  It came to my collection after I went to the convention in Orlando a few weeks ago.    Yesterday the tree was  styled and cleaned.  The trunk has so much twist and character. It is broken back, beat up, and gnarly.  The tropical storms that come in from the Atlantic and other body of water, beat these plants, twist them around, break off branches, tops, swirling all around.  The effect is one from nature...  gnarly, broken, twisted, unconventional to all of the bonsai rules.
    It still remains to be decided how I will go with this tree...   I have 2 options:    1.  I can leave as is which leads the eye left and right.  There is a large piece of dead wood to the left that has a small green, live branch.  The knob on top, to the right has a lot of live green branches growing to the right.  The central trunk has been snapped off from storms.
2:  Or....  I could remove the deadwood, just after the green on the left, causing the eye to flow up the trunk to the left, then move to the right as the storms blew to the left.  
    I will have to study the tree, watch it develop from this stage, see how it feels,  and make a decision.  
 The pre bonsai photo of this three is in the extra for you to compare the  2 looks, if you so desire.
