Plum bonsai

[Stone]

About 25 years from a 6 foot tree dug up from the side of the rd

The best time to look at it now before all the buds open and obscure the branches.
Enjoy Spring is on the way!....:clap:

Lovely. How did you train it? Wires?

Beautiful shape on this one and a nice gnarly truck, too. You've captured the essence of bonsai perfectly on this one, Stone. Nice job!

One of the best things I've seen recently!

That is great looking bonsai! and your work for so many years!!!

Thanks for showing.
This is the best time to see before all the buds open up as you say.

The bonsai looks ancient and sooo beautiful. There's a
bonsai grower in New England who would love to see this
beauty.

Thanks for all the lovely thoughts.
Linus, I train this mainly by cutting and letting grow over and over. That way you get the nice movement in the branches. I use wire in winter to position branches in the right direction up or down etc., but not to shape them.

Very nice!
Is it a flowering or "fruit" plum.
Wild or domestic variety?
(A lot of orchards are beside the road oke: )

It's Prunus ceracifera. A lot of wild seedlings pop up here and there along roadsides and in fields etc. There is one with green leaves and pure white flowers, another with dark purple leaves and pink flowers and this one in between. They do have small purple inedible fruit but I cut them off if they form.
