This is 1 of the tree cut back and allowed to grow on in the ground .
Due to renovations in the garden it was removed 8 weeks ago .I never had the time to pot it up so it sat on the ground until now 
.It has continued to shoot and while not brilliant there is plenty of die-back in the center .
This will open up the middle for the future design .I simple soaked it over night in water to soften the red clay then washed out the roots and trimmed . The clay here acts as a shallow tray/pot allowing only minimal depth of root penetration giving e a very shallow root spread .
With the roots sorted and trimmed it was potted up into a large Bonsai pot and this is where it will remain for 1 season .I will slowly remove some of the dead trunks from the center then design and style the Trainer into something unique .
