Yesterday the Dallas Bonsai Society had our annual club dig at one of the member's property. I was looking mainly for a clump so when I came across this, I knew I had to take it home.
(Sorry for the crappy picture)
While digging, I started noticing that it may not be an actual clump since the trucks were beginning to move independently. I finished digging it up and got it home in a burlap sack wrapped in a trash bag.
Today as I was reducing the stumps of tap roots and removing dirt, the dirt began coming loose and the trees were starting to separate.
I thought it'd be best to just pot them all up with some of the original dirt to keep them together as a clulp for now and backfilled with pumice and expanded shale while they recovered. Once it does and I have more roots to work with, I'll come back in to flatten the bottom and put it in a shallower grow box.
Not exactly sure where I'm heading with this yet but we'll see what kind of growth I get out of it this year and go from there.
