Imperial Masterpiece
I have this live oak in my yard. I rescued it 4 years ago bone dry in a tiny pot thrown away at the dump. Right now it is fairly healthy with a 2 inch trunk. It has a whorl and reverse taper at 18". Because of that it will really not be a good yard tree. I can't find a good branch to develop into a leader. This coming spring I'm thinking about trunk chop at 4" and force it to develop a new leader. When the trunk gets to around 3.5 inch I will collect it as a bonsai. Your thoughts?
