Wow, well done. You could take the wheels off the trailer and that would probably make a suitable size pot for it. That is one big dig

Have fun.

G'day Olive, You asked what i think so hope your ready mate

.

Firstly great work with the dig out, it can't have been easy. Regarding your design/drawing, Mate I would be greatly sadened if you were to cut this Clump up and turn it into a twin trunk

. If you want a twin trunk go find another one.The bark and lower trunks are impressive as is the overall size of the Clump but to turn this into bonsai is going to take considerable work. I hope your ready for what you taking on. Good luck.

came up with the twin trunk as i sort the smaller trunks between the two bigger ones wouldnt look right but have done searching online an have found a few. I would prefer a clump/raft style as its the reason it was collected

an after seeing a few i think it can be achieved. As it is now measurements are 95cm tall an across the base is about 40cm

An yeah you are right there is a heap of work to be done on this tree

aint going to be easy but i think the extra work will be worth it

Use as much of it as you can O C. It will make a superb Multiple trunk tree.

Olive,

I managed a rough virt for you mate, you still end up with a defined twin trunk,, of course there's a million possibilities for this one.

This tree is starting to recover pushing buds on the trunks hoping to have leaves in the next few weeks
