My First Yamadori

10 years ago

I told my parents all winter that I was going to dig up their bushes in the garden....I don't think they believed me. There is definitely some good pre-bonsai material there. The picture is the first of a few.
I do not know what kind of plant it is, so if anyone can enlighten me, that would be much appreciated. My dad had chopped it a couple of times years ago, in the hopes that he would kill it. I suppose it was getting too big for the front garden. I dug it up today, and I have it in Al's 5:1:1 mix. Next year, if it is still doing well and the roots are settled, I will start carving out the deadwood.
If anyone has any advice or ideas of where to start, or how they would shape it, please share.
Thanks!
Mikey G
