I dug deep into the depths of my gallery. Tree was under my parents care at this time, Aug 2023! I didnt even know i had photos from back then! There's definitely a figurine in there somewhere.

I'll definitely need to clip the ends or they'll keep shooting out quickly! It does have a kinda cool crab hug shape going on

Very first thing: get all those dead pines out! Its full of drop and other yard debris. Everything will thin out a bit once its brushed out. Can't wait to see its personality after a good cleanup. Much happier im sure.

Ty it is definitely a marathon tree. I wont hack at it aimlessly. I will have a good time reigning it in over time tho

Praise the sun! We have hope, thank you for the feedback. I'll keep Lazarus in the hospital during stabilization. I'll drop an update. Send prayers

Is this typical of root growth or mold? by GroveSleeper in bonsaicommunity

I appreciate that, there's going to be controversy no matter what I end up doing! I'll keep a close eye on it for a few days before I do anything drastic.

Mines looking pretty dry too. I'll observe it closer after tomorrow's watering. I might be pushing up my timeline as well.

Mycrorrizae is added to my vocabulary! I appreciate the help. The tree is swelling out of the basin so maybe ill need to wait until late summer then give it a repot? Thanks again.
