We had a rather bad drought this summer, and a hosepipe ban, so nurseries are selling off all their stock. This tree must have sat outside behind a lot of other trees for at least a year. We had to dig the pot out of the ground, because the roots had grown out of the pot quite a bit.

I dug around for the nebari a bit, but could not quite find any without doing much to the roots. Slip potted into a much bigger pot, with a new soil mix I am trying. I'll just let it grow vigorous a few years and maybe see if I can clear the nebari, a little pruning, and maybe put it into a bonsai pot. I'm thinking informal upright may be the most suited style.

Thoughts?

The other side has a bit more vigour, but I do not like the trunk and movement as much.
