Ignored but never Forgotten.

This is my old bonsai area that is now clearly overrun by weeds! :palm: ...
Plus Some Silky Oak that i started from seed and two Chinese elm that were planted from starters! (The elms are actually planted in the ground on rocks underneath, the Oaks have just completely dismissed the bottom of that little pot! and powered on!! :tu: )

I will be pondering what to do with them as i am pulling all those weeds out :palm: ... (can't wait :P)

Any ideas for the 3 Silky Oak? (The pot will have to be cut away i know that much!)

(Dad is worried they will take root and wreck the retaining wall neer them.. . . . i understand his concern considering the rate of growth so far!)

Any thoughts on what i should do?
Cheers

Dig them up and check the roots for future use and corrt any issue as needed ( chop any really big out of proportion ones), Cut back hard so you can develop taper and regrow the tops.
Replant back in the ground for another year :-) ( or in larger pots)
