I just found it and tied it to the pole in order to take the picture. The trunk is growing sideways so without digging it up it wouldn't stand up anyway. Anyway, I'll score this as a "trash" recommendationIf you have it tied to a pole to insure it doesn't flop over, it won't make very good bonsai in any style.
Roger that and thanks!FWIW, literati is one of the hardest bonsai styles to pull off effectively. Thin trunks are only part of it. Since the thinner leaner trunk CAN BE the focal point of a good literati, it has to have a lot of interest--some interesting movement and some age/maturity that give it interest. This one doesn't have any of that, it's young and shows it.
Wasn't meant as a negative comment. Literati does require more than this trunk presents currently. You've posted links to some extreme Chinese examples, which are mostly made from deciduous or tropical species which have mostly smooth bark. There are very few conifers, and the conifers that are used are not seedlings or young material as this is-even the smooth barked examples have some age to their thin trunks. Making those examples if far more than just wiring movement into the trunks -- far from it. Most of those are made through clip and grow, not wiring.Hardly anything else that could be. Pick one side or other wire in SOME movement eliminate other side. Keep supported by wire or stake especially if having snow/ice until woody enough to support self. Look at Literati videos on You tube, pics, etc for ideas. Do not be intimidated by such negative comments. All Literati in nature begin as young smooth trees and plenty potted ones as well including many great looking trees. Species little matters.
