I found this on the side of road for pickup last year. Someone was redoing their yard and had a few of these dug up. The roots were already dried when I found it but I can't turn down a free tree to learn with. I put it in a large pot that had standard MG potting soil. The soil was deep in the pot so I could not see much of the tree to work with. I thought I had cut back more roots than I really did, so after purchasing a large bonsai pot to move the tree into I found it has much more roots than I had pot. I was afraid to do any root cutting this time of year but really wanted to get the tree in the open to start working on. I got a large nursery pot from our city horticulture department and cut it down to the size for the roots. I realize the 3 limbs going to the left are too long/tall, but can cut them back anytime.
