Hi, this is an update of my cascade.
Picture one was taken at the start of spring and picture two was taken today. Cheers Phil G.

Did you fracture the trunk in the center in order to create the Cascade?

Hi Markhr, no i didnt fracture the trunk. We had a heap of snow for a few days during winter and a big pile slid off the roof onto some of my bonsai!!! There was damage on a few trees including this one.
She was originally an upright tree about a foot and a half tall with some decent growth on her but the snow landed on it and snapped it in half, i was totally gutted but i think she is starting to look good again. I repotted the tree slanting in its pot to get it to lean the way i wanted and left it to grow. It has also been pruned once and rewired also. cheers Phil G
