Tree: Cork Oak

Obtained: Won at SBBK auction, summer 2011.

Training: Initally overall poor health, few dry green/brown leaves. Has a sacrificial branch at the top. I covered it in moss (from the workshop trash) and the moss is still there! Pot is on the crowded raised bed (RB) with a large vase of water under it - so it should never dry out.

Update Dec 2011: Awesome. Still no front. Needs to get bigger. What pot should it get?

Detail: In a way my first bonsai. A good looking semi-styled tree - in a pot. Found out also this tree is really used for making corks; and the whole twist-off / plastic cork thing maybe counter intuitively non-green.
