Mountain ash

Here is a mountain ash I dug up this spring. I have never seen one with such a thick trunk and good trunk movement as a bonsai before. Trunk diameter is about 20 cm


It was nearly bare rooted, but some soil remained close to the trunk. There seemed to be quite a few hair roots in that soil.


A few weeks later I could see new growth all over the tree.


This is how the tre looks now. When the leaves fall off this autumn I will start to work on the deadwood and I will wire the branches. I think this will be a very nice one in time!
