Think tree Michaelsan, think tree. Bring it with you this summer if you are coming down and we will try to do something with it.If you haven't noticed most of the trees I post are number 2 or higher. Most of my first or number 1 trees got ate.
This is one that made it. I got this from Vance the first time I was around him. It's odd kind of but it's mine and I like it.

Yep. They got loose from Christmas tree farms. There are scots pine here 70 feet tall and 20 inches diameter at the ground. They like it here. Perfect conditions for them here. Apparently a lot like Scotland.I didn't realize that Scots pine was listed as invasive in Michigan.
Maybe yours. My girls aren't hatching anything soon.Gee maybe our great grand children can collect some really nice Yamadori.
And we did!. Bring it with you this summer if you are coming down and we will try to do something with it.
Thanks to you sir. I'm really happy with it. I'm thinking about potting it next year. I have a nice plain oval for it.This is going to be a really nice little bonsai in a couple of years.
I started a different thread with this tree before. That was what some suggested. I picked this tree out of like 50 just because of the two trunks. I'll be leaving it as is. It's different unusual.Ahem.
Er...
I'd split it!
To me, the double-trunk don't work - I may be wrong, but that's how I (can't) see it.

The trunk on the right has a very nice movement, it's the one I would focus on.
The trunk on the left is, to my taste, quite boring, but if wired, may become interesting.
I mean that's if you want two trees: personally, I wouldn't care about the one on the left, maybe make a short "jin" while waiting to figure out the best design, but...
... Chop, chop chop!
Actually in-spite of the name most Scots Pines are native to most of Europe and parts of Russia into the sub-arctic. They also grow into Southern France close to the Mediterranean.Yep.

Hell no Mike dont split that trunk. This has very good potential like Vance said in a couple of years.Ahem.
