Picked this up at Matsuda Bonsai Nursery in Placerville while I was at a cabin over the weekend. Some cool material there and Hiro is very friendly. He does all the work at that nursery by himself, it's insane. If I had more space, I'd have taken one of the gargantuan tridents or rough bark elms he has. Anyways, thought this one had some cool bark and it's small. Leaning towards picking a new leader and repotting it at an angle since it's kinda long and straight. Feels bad lopping off the current leader that was chosen for it though lol. Any other thoughts are appreciated!
