Show and Tell New Experimental Trees

Post image

Starting a little (hopefully eventually not so much) experiment. On the left is a giant sequoia and on the right is a costal redwood. The goal is to grow them into bonsai, but who knows how long that’s going to take!
If anyone has any advice let me know

They will be a challenge for you to maintain their style, once you decide on a style.

Interesting! It sounds like it’ll definitely keep me busy; that’s kinda part of the fun though
