Pretty exciting seeing you prune this oak. It may be small, but the shape is so sweet. Should be interesting getting a look at the roots. Oaks can have some weird tap roots that are prone to fusing. Looking forward to see how this species behaves.

[@BackGardenBonsai]

Cheers Sue, yeah im very curious to see what state the roots are in. I wonder if i removed the tap root or not, i cant remember!

[@ethanmcpherson3517]

@@BackGardenBonsai would it grow faster in a larger pot or in the ground?

[@angry9901]

Yep, much faster.

I like a nice holm oak. This one seems really healthy. ALSO mice like them apparently so mine are gone. Happy Easter!

[@BackGardenBonsai]

Cheers bro. Mice attacks suck!

[@robertscarborough68]

nice. how's the little birch doing?

[@BackGardenBonsai]

Cheers, yeah its doing okay, i will probably have to place it in its own pot when I repot it

Bro get a lazy susan. I resisted it myself for a couple years. But it helps doing pruning and root work. Plus you spin trees around almost not stop.

[@BackGardenBonsai]

ive got one. its useless. lol. only works for very heavy trees. i need one that is for cakes/ make my own, then it will still spin well with a light weight

[@chasingthefish9042]

@BackGardenBonsai really!? I love mine it was like 10 bucks off Amazon. I like to set my tree on it and rake my roots like Nigel sanders does. Really helps that detail root pruning. Then I can easily study each tree to plan which pruning decision I want to make. Most of my trees are all under 5 years old and have been trained in clip and grow since sprouting so that might be why I find the lazy susan easier.
