Large blossom project -reposted to correct category
Posted: February 16th, 2025, 11:22 am
Hi all!
Taking a challenge and risk with this project. Saw a free peach blossom (Prunus persica 'Versicolor') up on market in town and took the chance to try a large bonsai project.
Not ideal timing of year to dig up, but I couldn't be picky with a free tree like this, that was planted 8 years ago (unsure of how big it was when planted).
Looking for advice and tips on how to give it the best chance at surviving firstly, but also backbudding.
If it backbuds and give new branches to create taper, I am wondering if this would look good with some carving?
Any advice would be appreciated along the journey.
Cheers
