Naturally Formed Hazel Bonsai

Today I acquired a beauty of a tree from the golf course where I work. It was situated next to a well used path and was found growing in a very twisty pattern with natural jins. I assume golfers must have been hitting it with their clubs as they walk past getting their practice swings ready! It was also growing in a pile of rocks so the roots were quite short and had fine hairs.

As a result of all this, it has had a struggle to survive and this shows in the fascinating patterns in the branches.
It is potted in a 10″ pot.

I cannot take any credit here! All I’ve done with this one is put it in the pot and trim the branches back a bit.
