I would have used raffia to wrap the roots. It doesn’t cut into the roots and eventually decomposes. Also, I think the tree should have been tipped away from the front when you repotted it. I wouldn’t cut the needles while the tree is still in early development.
I have lots of loblollies on my property. I am very new to bonsai. What steps would you recommend as far as getting one out of the ground and into a pot? Certain soil? Time of year to do it? Thanks!
I would dig them up in winter about Dec-feb. You want to keep the root ball intact by not removing too much of the soil once you get it out. Digging about a 6in to a foot from the base of the tree. Put it in a regular nursery pot for at least a year. That spring and summer it may not grow much, but the following year it will take off.

Looks really good. I guess I need to go dig a couple of those things up
Looking good. Hey, in the background of your opening, it looks like you have some killer junipers. Maybe dig one up or airlayer one.
Haha, yeah, I would, but I don't think they are on my property. I have taken cuttings back in the fall and am hoping they root this year.
@@TrainingBonsai maybe find out who owns the property and tell them about your bonsai. People find it interesting.

Thanks for the tips!
Mantap👍👍👍
Thanks
Looks interesting. I’m pondering doing a root over rock on a maple I have… I don’t have a rock in mind yet though. Maybe next year.
Sounds like you need to go on a hike and do some rock hunting 😉
