Cork Oak, #2510
Kusamura Show, Quercus Suber, $55.
Late repot, but very organic and sandy soil, and mystery roots. I discovered a large burl-like mass that would never fit in a bonsai pot. If not later, dared to cut flat now. May have reduced the chance of this surviving—will cross my fingers. Otherwise,
Nice movement and early development.

Set up primary branches
Seek to grow a sacrificial branch to bulk up the trunk
Let all branches grow out, then cut back after next spring push
Cut back for taper, especially upper branches
