English Oak (Quercus Robur) Seedling after 2 Years Training as a Bonsai Tree

English Oak (Quercus Robur) seedling after 2 years training as a bonsai tree. It is about to be repotted into a wider shallower pot. The top and roots will be lightly pruned in the process to encourage root spread and low growth on the trunk to create a trunk taper.
This little oak was collected from Sherwood Forest near the famous Major Oak and maybe it is a descendent of this great tree. It was growing by the edge of a well used path and had been trampled by tourists so this was a bit of a rescue job as it is unlikely it would have survived to adulthood in the spot it was growing.
It is now 7.5 inches high and approx 4 years old.
Photo taken in mid April 2011.
