Hi everyone,
I recently inherited an oak tree from my Grandad. It's thought to be somewhere between 27 - 33 years old. The story is that I gave him an acorn when I was little and asked him to grow it for me, turns out he did!
It may have been a little neglected over the last few years, but I would love to keep this tree going in his memory, unfortunately I know nothing about Bonsai! I have begun my education on the net and youtube, but I'm looking for something more specific to my tree.
I removed a few branches that didn't have leaves forming and I trimmed about 30% of the roots as they had formed a huge tangled mess. The branches look very sparse to me, but I'm not sure what to do next!
Any advice / guidance would be fantastic!
Thanks,
Jim.
P.s I'm in the UK and the tree has lived it's whole life outdoors.
