christmas tree yamadoris potted up

The firs collected about two weeks ago and heeled in were finally potted up today. All have their faults and failings but certainly might make interesting projects provided they survive long enough.

noble fir, good taper, roots reasonable...

bushy larch, not a christmas tree...

the daddy, great roots and good nebari...

from the other side...

not sure this qualifies as nebari or a swelling in the trunk...

a spindly noble fir compared to the rest...

nordmann fir, relatively thick trunk, roots very poor...

christmas tree bonsai?

I came across these last week, four abies procera in a cut out christmas tree plantation. They are crooked and stunted and I got three with great roots, one with poor roots. I heeled them in for the time being and pot them on over next weekend, maybe with some basic styling.
