Another little scots.

I acquired this little guy from @Vance Wood at our annual show. It sat there all weekend for sale and no one bought it. I think it was one of the better trees he was selling but nobody hardly even looked at it. Probably because I shuffled it to the rear where nobody could see it! It was in a little bulb pot. Root bound bad. I sawed off a third of the block of roots and put it in its home for the next couple years. They take this treatment in stride this time of year. A little wire later today and it's on its way.

I will Rick.
You can't grow them where you're at but you're doing JBP!
You've been wanting to do those from the moment you started and it sounds like you are getting a handle on them. I'm happy for you. And way to keep at it and not get discouraged. You're getting the help you need from the guys on here that can and will help you.
I know if I could grow JBP I would buddy up to Adair,BVF and Markyscott.

What are your plans for this one. The one thing i have learned is to listen to those that grow these and grow them well. I think new people coming into the hobby see these beautiful trees these guys do and want instant bonsai not realizing these guys have years working on them to get them that way. As much as a person wants to work a tree, you just cant do it until the right time.

But for Christ sake....
Focus on the tree!

This. Now it just gets to grow for 2 years. In the colander it will grow like crazy and back bud all over. Then it will be cut back and wired again.
