Your mean just to make another formal upright tree? I would more than likely need to let these roots establish and get some strength going before considering that no? You’d just keep the curved side and abandon the twin trunk?
Yeah this was just off a branch of a tree that was growing into the walkway, so I did a layer around an area that had somewhat of some interest, there wasn’t a lot of options…. Would love to see your picture if you ever get it, sounds like a cool tree!!
That would be one option. Depends a little on what direction you want to go. If you want to keep both sides on the same tree, that is fine too, but sometimes the solutions that seem obvious are overlooked.
I have worked a lot of the propagation and growing side of trees, I am just trying to now focus on design practice and “rules” of bonsai. I’ve purchased a few books, watched countless videos but it’s always much different when the project is starring you in the face!
because they just got done layering, it looked like you were saying selection of layer was wrong to begin with
It’s ok dude. It probably wasn’t the most ideal spot in bonsai speaking terms, it was just a branch that had grown into my walkway so I made a little project out of it. I’m always open to all sides of perspective, so anyone’s perspectives welcome!
I thought of this one too so might be promising! Thank you for the suggestion. For now I’m going to let those roots take off this spring and feed the hell out of it!!!
