Hi Mr.Moyogi,

Nice looking tree,although reading the thread title I entered with some negative interest.The PinOak grows here all throughout the wild aswell.I have always been told that the tree was no good for making bonsai unless the finished tree was going to be in the XL sizes(4'range) due to its leaf size.So now I must ask if this tree will really reduce its foliage and ramify enough to make a convincing bonsai?Wow,I can only assume that it will or you would not have went through the trouble of collecting it.Thanks.
