this is bonsai. what an amazing find, almost a perfect bonsai when you found it! it seemed to me almost no styling necessary, just have it live! very impressive.

Thrilled to find some fellow Bonsai enthusiasts around me! I am pretty new but very interested and determined to do some local collecting.It’s been a long 7 year haul............if you look at the first and third photos in the first post of this thread you will note that all (ok majority) of the branches (except apex) are all on the one side....so it’s taken a while to move some of them to give the tree more depth and character. Extra needles (last years growth) were cut not pulled and then rubbed off before wiring. Still have to figure out a landscape pot (much shallower than the grow pot it’s in) and try and spread the two main roots apart (or shorten them?). Here are 4 photos .....
Many thanks, I would like to spend more time here at the nut but........life gets in the way, like the wife’s “honey do” list is never completely accomplished . As with many Yamadori, one has to work with what it’s gives you and those long main surface roots on this one, pose difficulties in pot choice and potential fronts. Personally I like them, they tell a story within themselves, I would like to keep them but might try and spread them apart.Thank you for keeping up with your post on this tree for so long @ghues . I am very impressed with how far the tree has come and how well you have done with it. I love the final image.
Vancouver Island is sounding more and more amazing.
