I think I'd pass as well. Evaluate the chance of survival, amount of after care, time to fix the roots and time to transition the chop. Probably equal to finding a much smaller tree that you can create your vision for this one... of course I'm guessing, lol

yeah, i was thinking no, too. it'll take too long to grow transitions out and fix roots.

last year i forgot to get some acorns. thought they'd be almost done by now, but looks like I'm way too early.
is this live oak?

It looks like a live oak to me. Is that in New Zealand??? Are there native oaks there?

As for the acorns, wait until they easily pop out of the cap. At that point, they are ready.

Had to Google it to figure out what it was. I don't remember that level of detail from Star Wars at this point in my life.

I've seen all the Star Wars movies and Star Trek too. Mugle is from Harry Potter. Seen Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind more times than I can count. It's one of my favorite movies.

I dont think Wookies have the dexterity for bonsai and Jabba will just use em for toothpicks.
You want to pretend you're in some make believe world, and not help people help you by giving them a proper location, GL getting good bonsai advice when people can't figure out where you are and don't want to ask over and over.

Live Long and Prosper
