Hello all, I hope your weekends are going well! My dad has this 10+ year old bougainvillea in his yard that he is planning on removing because he wants to plant something else in that spot. He asked me if I wanted it before he sold/got rid of it, wanted to know what y’all think? Do you guys see any potential with the trunk? This would be the biggest bonsai project I’ve tackled to date but I think it would make for a fun experience. Let me know if you guys think this would bonsai well! Thank you for your time!

Note: first attempt didn’t upload correctly, this is my second attempt, I’m sorry if you’ve already seen this

TL;DR: any potential with this ground grown bougainvillea? 10+ years old

They were made sometime between 1940 and 1960 if that helps
