I dug up this small tree in february and it's been growing like crazy. It has some nice natural deadwood, interesting movement and good taper. The taper at the base needs some improvement, possibly by letting some suckers (basal sprouts) grow freely next year.
I don't know if black locust can make good bonsai, but I really like this one and it's a fun project So far I tried to pick some good branches to work with next year. This has been a bit more difficult than I anticipated. The top branches grow very thick, the lower ones not so. I've already picked a new leader and the wound has already started to callus over at the point where the new leader grows.
I also wired some branches that I want to keep to create some movement.
