I like to scout for pre-bonsai material as I walk our dogs on our property and yesterday I discovered this A. beech that looked interesting. It doesn't seem to be a root sucker and is about 6 ft tall with a 2 inch trunk base. I was thinking that with some judicious chops, the main trunk line would show taper and have potential for a bonsai. Here are some photos from different views. There is a fork further up the trunk that would have to be dealt with. I have read that this species is slow to develop, but is possible. I have not visualized the roots yet, re nebari possibilities. Your comments will be welcome.
