Collected in Winter 2016, this is a great hunky Live oak trunk that is starting to develop into a future bonsai. The bark is amazing. I did some wiring on the tree on 4/4/20, to give it a more “Live oakey” appearance. I like the way it’s coming along.

This specimen still needs additional growing out in order to thicken the tapering transition. I’d estimate another few years to make it just right.

The trunk base is 3-4″, and it’s about 20″ from the soil.

Estimated Age: 30 years

Back view (or you can make it the front).

There are roots on the back side (I checked to be sure). I carved it to ensure it sheds water.

This is the three-tree group planting I blogged about a few weeks back. There’s new growth on all the trees, and the roots are getting set for winter.

The trunk base on the main tree is 1″ in diameter, and it’s 18″ tall.

This is a very nice oak grove – good character and excellent harmony among the trunks.

Water oaks make nice bonsai. The leaves are naturally small and it’s easy to get good ramification.

Nice masculine water oak pre-bonsai collected in January 2016.

Great root base, great trunk character and it’s growing like wildfire. I’m shaping it into a broom-form, which is typical of oaks in the wild.

Trunk base is 2.5″, height to the chop 11.5″, should finish at about 20″.

Really nice pre-bonsai specimen, I lifted this one last fall and it’s just now pushing new shoots.

I went ahead and wired the branches to get the shape of this one going during the 2016 growing season. It should be ready for a bonsai pot next year.

Great trunk movement, taper and character.

Base is 1.75″, height to the chop 11″.
