Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
Aside from not being able to afford a pot for it down the road, any thoughts on it's suitability for bonsai?
Bonsai is the art of representing nature on a smaller scale. If you just take an adult tree and shove it in a pot, it does not (to me) become a bonsai. However you can see how they are trimming and styling it and how it will look quite striking once they are done. It will be a tree that they could have at the entry to their nursery and many people will take photos Kinda like having a giant Paul Bunyan statue out in front of your pancake restaurant
I think when finished, this tree may suffer from the sin of "being styled to look like a bonsai" instead of "being styled to look like a tree in nature on a miniature scale". However that is personal aesthetics...
