Zeb;
the reason nobody wanted it was because it didn't resemble a bonsai at all. It was planted in an old oil drain pan. As I mentioned, it was probably about four ft. in height. If it wasn't for my wife telling me to reconsider before throwing it out, it woul be gone now. I'm glad I did and I'm glad the person who gave it to me didn't want it anymore.

Treebay;
Yes that one trunk in the front that crosses over is the only major defect. As we know this is a no no in bonsai. If I don't lose that trunk and develop new growth on the farthest trunk on the right, This will just be another ho hum specimen.
