Masterpiece
This tree was collected around the same time as my banyan styled forsythia this year. I wanted to see if it survived collection and an early wiring before making a thread for it but as I should have expected, it did fine. Forsythia may be more difficult to kill than to keep alive it seems.
I had wired this one and intend to make a literati styled tree specifically to showcase the yellow spring flowers. It needs ramification and thickening but long term I'd like a bright blue glazed pot for it. It has very interestimg fall colors as the leaves turn a burgundy mixed with slime green color.

Grow out in compost:

Break in trunk where I bent to much while doing the initial wiring. I wrapped it in electrical tape to act as a splint
