It was a sucker I am fairly sure of the rootstock of a grafted Weeping Cherry.
It has since been placed into a larger pot but I would like Ausbonsai's collective
on it as I think it has some guts 
Prunus sp. with potential.

I dug this up from a job last year and stuck it into a pot, last spring I decided to clean it up a little and flatten out the roots.

Re: Prunus sp. with potential.
G'day Damian,
I would try to establish exactly what variety of Prunus you are working with if you can. If this is a sucker from the rootstock of a grafted tree it could be any Prunus species. You could be working with a species that does not flower very well.
In regards to your tree, patience is the best advise I can give. Keep working on the roots during the next few seasons and keep cutting back hard to develop your taper. That is how I developed the tree that I posted in the other thread.
Cheers,
Paul

Re: Prunus sp. with potential.
Thanks PJ. sound advice.
It is currently housed on the shelf in a 400mm or 16" pot, I won't put it in the ground till I have the beds properly established.
I am more than happy to keep cutting it back, it always gives the best results.
