Double 'Ouch' I just got served the expierance card .lol . Adair you have great trees and far more experience than me no doubt . I am just sharing my experiences . The tree is Liriodendron tulipifera . At least that was what I was told the seed was . Liriodendron Chinense has a slightly different leaf to mine so I assume the identification is correct . There would be variation in the seed , perhaps your strain is just a weaker variety .
I am in the Snowy Mountains of Australia . Yes we do have snow .
It's starting to ramify just slowly . A wise man knows when to shut up so I'll shut up now.
Cheers Sno

I'm certain @Adair M motive is to help us save time and energy that we could be using to learn how to create better bonsai. When you work with a tree that has a bad track record as bonsai, often because of the species issues, not only does it use up your time, it also doesn't teach you anything. This is because your experience with tulip magnolia will not transfer to species like elm which make great bonsai.
He's trying to get us to use our time more wisely.
Of course I'm a seasoned poor smuck with many years of experience that knows I'm wasting time, but just had to try anyway. There's always a slim chance to get something nice. Not necessarily great, maybe not even very good, but I'll settle for nice.
And I don't hang onto these experiments if my time and resources get impinged upon.

The one I was going to dig up I am leaving til next spring. I will then dig it up and transplant it to my side yard. I will let it grow big and make funny leaves.
