Japanese white pine AOI nursery stock. Are these roots “too big? I like them but feel they’re not bonsai appropriate. Would you buy for around $200? 🤔

  1. Good price for a JWP that size. Those fat roots are a little problematic. I’ve seen posts where people will split fat roots like that and carve some raper in the middle, turning them into 2 smaller roots instead of 1 big one. I’ve not tried the technique myself, but seems like it might work here.

    I would cut the small crossing root and hopefully put the round outward one at the back of the tree
