had a go at drawing up a design for this tree let me know what you think

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

This picture i took today shows just how big this beast is

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

I think so to planning to keep all the trunks you see in the picture ill work on getting the trunks right this growing season ash grow fast from what i have read cant wait for it to shoot

Thats going to be fun when it comes time to find a pot!

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.

I like this all trunks work well an i can see it shooting where is needed also went looking for a pot an found this one being used for a clump style bonsai now just have to find something about that size link to the pot is below

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