Title: Collecting in the wild
Post by: skrandle on December 20, 2019, 12:48 AM

Although it’s in the wild, in this case, it’s my back yard.
I’d like to know how to cut down the root ball to fit a bonsai pot.
In more detail the knowledge of the percentage of what to cut and time frame, the time between cutting more to complete it.

I don't know your experience level but that can be a lot of work if you're a novice to bonsai. Read up on the basics of yamadori here: https://www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/cultivation/collecting-trees
