willow would make a good bonsai
No! But they're fun to grow, and of you get a good one.....it could be made nice....
But eff willow!
If that's only 25ft of your stretch of stream, you'll find a couple things worth collecting in there sure.....
The ones with the funky ass hanging roots....
They all look interesting, but it is hard to find one that you can actually get in a pot, in a manner which it will remain as attractive as it is on the bank.
They say the windswept style is difficult, funky ass roots style is more difficult, but possible, again, don't collect ALL of those, but keep looking for that ONE funky ass roots that may work, it will be good difficult training.
Then again, if you have space in the yard, I would totally just dig a trench as long as possible, with all the refill soil right there, and as they pull them out, you can just easily, with NFG, (no fucks given!) Plop em in and cover em over.....
Sort of, shoot first ask questions later...
Collect em all and let God sort em out!
But quick action, just to have mad possible layers and so you can learn about roots, what breaks, what cuts, what lives, what sucks....
But focus focus for that good good still.
The area you are searching is definitely a spot where something good will turn up.
Like specimen good.
I fear you are thinking "bonsai" "small", and may be passing over some of the stuff you should actually be seeking. Larger, fisherman hacked, flood damaged....trees that you MUST hack down JUST to get home.
Don't forget the Donuts! You'll have help digging!
I wanna see more panoramic views of your stream. Maybe some shots of larger trees around, as its likely the smaller seedling will have fallen from them, and maybe we can narrow down to a bark color you should be looking for, eliminate some "Hell No" Species maybe.
You found the right elements to effect the trees, now you just have to find the tree that was properly effected by those elements.
It is there for sure! Maybe even 4!
