Just an update, a picture

Downy Birch - prebonsai²
most likely Downy Birch (betula pubescens), or a natural hybrid between Silver Birch (betula pendula) and Downy Birch.
Harvested in from between the tiles alongside the border of a pavement and a building plot, in 2012.
It did not really recover good in the next 2 years, but suddenly it regained vigour. Second year in trainingpot now.
I've cut a top brach (sacrifice branch) and bent the remaining bracht into a new top last week.
Two days ago I carved the old trunk chop cut a bit. Just roughly, and then I put some perforated microwave plastic around the wound, to prevent it from drying out too fast. It will stay on 1 or 2 months, this will also help faster callousing.
Obviously, this is a prebonsai² (pre pre bonsai)
