Are you going to change the front later on when it recovers as i think the side looks a lot better. (big one edge on pic)
No decision as to front / back /left / right on any of thm yet.
Let them recover for 18 months, then repot and see what the roots / nebari is doing. They are in the pot however they will fit at the moment :-) :shock:

Wow Ken. The one that was wrapped around the pole (in the edge on aspect) is the most impressive piece of Wisteria stock that I have ever seen - apart from a couple of massive corkscrewed hollow trunk numbers at a temple in Kyoto. The energy and dynamism in the trunk is really exciting.

It has the potential to be something very special indeed. All the best as its custodian.

Wonderful ! I love vines the more the merrier. Virginia creeper is common around here. They make for wonderful bonsai .

Just an update on these as they have shot out madly and recovering well.

Will go and give them a trim and remove many of the shoots as they are getting out of control :lol: :crybye:

Any one want to buy one :-) They are recovering faster than I thought so would be happy to pass one on now as they are both far to big for my future :-) :lol: :lol:

A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

I was asked to sheck whether these had any new roots, and happy to say it looks like it :-)

While checking them out, i noticed the taller one had new flowers coming out on it. The other one not yet but suspect because it is more sheltered and gets much less sun
Nice surprise :-)
