Ok ill do that as soon as possible thanks

Just wondering.. Would it not be better for the tree if it was not growing on it's side? :whistle:

Making this into a bonsai is not going to be an easy road. It is currently not possible to see the trunkline from the pictures you showed. What you want to look for are:

- The start of the main roots. Often you can lift the plant from the pot, peel away the soil untill you reach the main roots. These will become your surface roots, so it is important to check those: The best looking roots often define the front of your tree.
- Decide how tall your tree will be; Based on the diameter of the trunk you can normally decide on a height of 6 to 12 times the trunk diameter. In that range you should have a look to find a natural point to cut back to (Often a point where two or more branches occur: One branche becomes the new top, and one a side-branch. The chop should afterwards ideally be hidden behind the new leading top-branch.

Before you start chopping the tree, posdt a picture of your envisioned front, and draw in the chop you have in mind, and what the main trunk looks like.

Ok thank you for the advice ill try do it tomorrow or the day after because im a bit busy these day but ill certainly post all my progress and my decisions before I act thank you all for helping

Thats me just removed all the suckers and exposed the top roots I think I have chosen a front but ill post some examples so you can help me choose . so far I chose th first photo

Sorry here are the photos

And some more
Ps:somehow I can only post two photos at a time

This is a very rough sketch of what I see possible on this tree I dont know if yous see it too do you ?
But I dont want to just cut the top of id rather try ayr layering do yous think its a good idea ?
and since I have quite a thick trunk I may aswell let it grow even a bit more , any advice ?
Ps: sorry for the dark drawing I only had a bit of charcoal to draw lol

Anybody have any advice on what form this tree could take
And what steps to follow to get it to that form please

Here is a little update about a year later , I've basically let it grow free apart from an air layer at the top of the tree . My future plans are another air layer to shorten the tree even further and create a nice taper , and I think I will let the rest grow freely for another year .
Thoughts ?

How do you prevent substrate falling off from the pot?
And how do you call this technique of growing bonsai on its side?
My neck hurts.....
