...from my mother's garden.
Yesterday I went to visit my mom and pick up the first half of trees from their winter quartets.
...and decided to dig two trees I've been playing with for some three years.
The first one is lonicera, for a clump style. I found this tree some three years ago when my mother asked me to prune this ground covering shrub. When I went on my kness and I saw the trunk...well she said take it and plant there some young seedlings instead of it. So it was chopped some three years ago and the root ball was cut using a spade. This procedure was done twice in last three years.
Here's a picture of roots after combing and barerooting, removed just a few roots and dry root tips after last spading.
The tree was potted and here's how it looks now.
Next weekend I'm meeting our bonsai group and will take it to discuss if and what should be removed, I think it needs to have some trunks selected. What would you say.
Here's the yew, similar story. It's heavy and ugly and will look same for next two-tree years. Looks like future carving project.

But isn't the purpose of a sacrifice branch to get it growth stronger in that part? (I'm talking about a thin stick with suckers, not about the tree in question).
