This tree looks like it was born to be a bonsai. A very old tree somewhere around 150 or older. I have not pruned one live branch just a few extra pieces of deadwood so far, the tree never reached more than 3ft in the wild. Looking forward to trying to keep the nature feel of this one and find a wild pot for it in a few years.
I just collected it this spring, I put it on a bit of bottom heat and it has started growing new foliage and roots faster than most.
Also, most people dont do this with White Cedar but I may strip all the bark like a shimpaku on this one to show the live viens and all the different dead interesting pieces. I had to bury some of the base to help it survive the collection and will uncover a bigger base in time. The picture where I am holding it is what I am thinking right now for planting angle. Just looking for others thoughts or tips on its future.
