q. garryana

Hi folks, I was gifted these two Garry Oak saplings from a reforestation project - they were too twisty for them. I think they look pretty interesting and would like some advice on what to do next. I understand from other posts that Garry Oak are tricky. Thanks, Paul

I have a batch of yearling oaks (Oregon White Oak/Q. Garryana) that I grew from locally-collected acorns, with the aim of bonsaiing the most promising. However, I'm a n00b, and can't find info on how to proceed. Should I be letting them grow on unchecked to gain trunk width? Pinching them back...
