I am new to bonsai and I am looking for some advice on some material. I'm not too concerned with species at this point, I'm just trying to get the hang of spotting a good "guinea pig" or two. Following are some pictures of what I considered to be potential "successes". Although, I admit that I'm not doing this to succeed. Anyway, I would appreciate some advice. Are any of these trees workable? Would any of you consider these trees to be good "guinea pigs" for me? Do you see potential? Or am I blinded by excitement for my newfound interest? Thanks!
Beech Tree. The trunk is about 5ish inches in diameter, it has 4 or 5 new "trunks". The main section of the trunk is split down the middle, which is strange.
A better view of the cleft down the middle.
Paper Birch.
Eastern Hemlock. There were a bunch of these that had been hack up by road crews(?) and munched on by deer. I'm hoping to find a couple to bring home. There were a few Eastern White Pines too.
Black Birch. These were scattered all over the place.
Pretty neat looking trunk. Healthy little trees, they're in a rough spot lol.
Beavers have been munching on some Red Maple(?) next to a lake. Have they been preparing some pre-bonsai for me?
