Sharing my first bonsai-to-be projects. My goal right now is just to get these happy in pots without any more fuss after getting them situated. The oaks just passed the 1 year mark in pots, taken from a mess of sprouts under the parent tree. I'm guessing these are common oaks. The pine saplings (probably Pinus sylvestris) were taken a few months ago from the seaside. The evergreen seedlings are who-knows-what until they mature; these were potted up after finding them growing around the property where there are a few varieties of conifers kicking around.

I'm not thrilled about the pines getting bunched up in one pot, even for basic acclimatization, but I didn't have any standard nursery pots on hand, and then a week passed, and then another. So since they weren't looking too stressed I figured it's best to kick that problem over to next year.
