Showing some growth & progress on my very 1st official #Bonsai. A little more then a year of training & growing to form this from when I 1st got this plant, This small tree looks so old to me that bark is just ancient. Thinking of taking it out of the pot & replanting it into a much larger container to get some thicker growth. Thoughts on overall look, shape, opinions or suggestions/tips On my Bonsai would be appreciated. I’m new to the style and growth habit even though I have been putting trees in pots for years. A lot of you have as well and you have official bonsai trees because definition is a tree in a pot so all of you who have a tree in a pot should get a little bit more into this style of growing. Just my opinion Show off your #bonsai trees today just curious what everyone has as far as natures manipulated artwork. I have a serious question for the true bonsai enthusiast about planting in ground to grow trunk mass.. question is let’s say I have a small unused pool or very large capacity container like an old freezer. Would that be considered large enough of a container to get the trunk to thicken on trees faster or would it actually need to be in the ground ? Because my thoughts fight with each other and says it will never be able to get the nutrients from a confined space, even though the other side of my mind says the roots won’t ever get that big enough to get all the nutrients from a larger space. I know there is no official right answer but just wondering what kind of experience we have out there 🫶🏽 feed the soil microbes 🦠 right?
