Definitely has potential. Those 90° turns are pretty harsh but you can perhaps soften them with some bending or it's possible that as it develops they will soften. The planting angle will need to be adjusted at some point, of course, by tilting it somewhat to the left. That horizontal mid section is parallel with the pot.
Keep us updated with the development!

Hehe! thank you!Looks good. Nice repurpose of a fridge
Just the panel from the fridge is there... It IS on top of an Iron Safe... weighs close to a Ton... we can't get rid of it!

Thank you!
I think(hope) so, too!
It, obviously kept getting hit by the "clearers"... until that one branch made it far enough back to avoid being struck, and started "tree-ing" ovah dere!

I know next to nothing about tree ID's, but this almost looks like hornbeam leaves. Leaves look a lot like my American hornbeam.
Either way, nice tree and awesome movement!

The bends are almost perfect 90s, like it grew from below a block wall. Real interesting.

Thank you!!
I'll post some more pictures of leaves, tomorrow.
We can have another look, because I'm not entirely certain, either.

Elm, probably American Elm.

Yes definitely elm. The alternating leaves give it away. Good close ups too!

This is what I was thinking also.. which is good.. these can be SubZero Ice-Blocks, and wake up fine...
I DO wish it was a "better" endemic Elm Species, though..
It's ok, realistically. I know AE well.

Put it in a forest planting and build a trail past it

It could fit in very well with an old decaying structure nearby as well. A dead settlement marking the way west!
Run with the trail marker theme!

Do you know the story behind bent trees? It's fascinating. Harbor Club is fortunate to have a bent tree within our gates. Come for a visit to see for yourself!

I plan on doing a white oak like this. There’s a lot of these around here, massive, thick old ones. If you pay attention to where they point some point to springs, some point to hill tops, some point to rhyolite outcrops. Very cool trees.Put it in a forest planting and build a trail past it

This idea is fantastic! Will most DEFINITELY plan out a trailhead idea, using ceramics, also. Thank you for tumbling some new snowballs in new directions!Put it in a forest planting and build a trail past it

But, I believe for THIS tree.. I will attempt to somewhat eliminate the harshest points of these angles.
As I prance around it (like an idiot) during my daily activities, the realization is dawning, as horribly embarrassing as it is, this MAY be the "best" tree I've collected, so far.
So I want it to be straight forward... very.. "Bonsai"... instead of even PEN-zai.. let alone pen-JING.
Although.. I might like a single implement.. in a POT.. as apposed to a dish/tray/slab. This, however, dashes the trailhead plan for THIS tree.
It IS, really, a dynamite idea.... and an area, in general, that my family and I are quite familiar with.
So NOW... new ideas and inspiration will pour in, daily.
