Hello Folks,
First let me say I know nothing about Bonsai. But I am growing a small wood of 300 Quercus robur oak, all offspring of the most famous oak tree in the world, called the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest (hidden in by Robin Hood). I run a website about this tree:
www.eyemead.com/majoroak.htm
and the planting of my oakwood:
www.eyemead.com/oakwood.htm
A reader contacted me to know if it was possible to bonsai one of my oaks. I searched Google on "Bonsai,oak" and came up with Mindori Bonsai Club and John Thompson (your president?)
Can someone advise me on the problems of Bonsaiing oaks, how to begin, is it possible to create cavities in the Bonsai (the Major oak has a huge cavity). I can start with a small quercus robur in a 10 litre pot
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best wishes,
