Hello. Im very new to bonsai. I only read a little and did some studying. I bought some nursery trees and dug some scragglers out of my bushes in my yard so I can experiment a little. I want to join the club but until then I want to start a few trees, so that the experts in the club can would me seriously when I join and not for just a joker.
Last month when I was taking oaks out of my yard they did not bleed when cut. They have all back budded fine after I defoliated them and are shooting out new branches.
I have this thicker nursery tree I wanted to cut to work on the branches. When I got it, it was so big so I just cut it down knowing I'm only going going use the stump anyways.
Today this one started to bleed so I used cut paste. I figure it's too late to cut at this point but I just learned from my mistake. I hope its not too late for new growth but I see so many dormant buds im hoping it will explode like my others did. Anyways-
I would like to turn to the experts here for advise
This is a Quercus Agrifolia California Live Oak
Does these lengths look right to you? Or should I cut it a little lower to get the desired effect? Do you have any other advise for a beginner?
Thanks so much for reading
