Re: oh my god
I know. Holy crap. Good luck to him and hope it survives. if so, he could have a world class tree in the future. Personally, I wouldn't know where to start .
I say again, holy crap..

im with you. being a complete noob id get a pro to give it the first styling if it were mine, I wouldn't be able to do it justice. then id concrete it into the ground so no one could steal it

If you read all the posts, you will get that he has been advised ( and rightly so) to do nothing to it for 5 years or so.
This will allow it to recover if it does at all.
During the meantime, Do courses, learn to maintain and develop trees, and by the time it is ready to work on, hopefully you will have a clue as to what to do.
Some of the best advice given, is to get a renowned bonsai artist to develop the tree rather than tackling it on their own.
Spend some decent money getting a good artist to develop and workshop the tree will do it justice.

Re: oh my god
Maybe I'm still a fresh noob but I always thought a hobby was meant to drain your funds? Never once dug a tree with a potential resale value in mind.....
Either way thats a super nice tree and i hope it pulls thru!

Re: oh my god
That is the Ugliest looking Cedar I have ever seen.
I hope it survives for the new owners sake, it would be funny if the guy that he got it from was only renting and the actual owner of the place had it there recouperating from collecting it and was intending to come back and grab it, not to the owner it would be funny but for me it would. I have a macabre sense of humour at times.
The fiscal side of the discussion is quite interesting, all fruitless if it doesn't survive, although I will be following it to see if it does.
Cheers

Re: oh my god
That thread contains one of the best bits of Bonsai philosophy I think I have ever read;
Isn't that the highest aspect of Bonsai - contemplation. Or least they go away with a smile in the heart.
I would love to see the actual tree and like everyone else, hope it survives the move.

Re: oh my god
Wow!! That is a very impressive stump!! I'm just wondering what I'd do in his situation.... probably go running for help in fear of doing something wrong lol
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

Re: oh my god
Is it just me, or would anyone else who dug this take a root ball 3 times bigger than foliage drip line and spend a hell of a lot more time than 30-45 minutes on getting it out.
I sure as hell hope it survives, but I get the feeling this bloke has jumped in the deep end with expectations of a tree this big being able to survive being ripped from the ground.
