6 based on ring counts.Good cut. Does that put this tree at 5 yrs old?
What would be a good pot for a clump like this? The center tree is rotting away.Trunk is mostly dead but tree is flourishing as a clump. The shoots are half inch in diameter.View attachment 499383
Uncle, I think a round, rectangular or oval will do.... I would probably start wire the little trunks and arrange them in the shape I like at this point since they grow fast.What would be a good pot for a clump like this? The center tree is rotting away.
I think I might just lift the whole thing out of that big 30 gallon pot and put it in a big mica pot with minimal root work just to fit. That will give me access to the clump to wire. Right now I can't see them well enough to shape them.Uncle, I think a round, rectangular or oval will do....

Is it not advised to put live oak in a medium with lots of drainage?The trunk was infested with fire ants. I had two tiers of roots. Both tiers have roots in all the wrong places. Wound up doing severe work on the tree but either that or it will never be a bonsai. Here to hope for its survival.
