What are your thoughts?
Hey Everyone!
Been a long time enjoyer of Bonsai, but only recently took the leap (and had the means) to try it for myself. My wife bought me a classic Home Depot juniper last fall, and shortly after we visited the West Michigan Club show in Grand Rapids. Was absolutely hooked after.
Went home and dug up the little maple and then also attempted a discount Azalea, which after trimming 3/4 of the root ball, realized why this is not a quick hobby. 2/3 made it through the winter which I was impressed with after the winter we had.
This year I decided to try a dwarf Alberta spruce about 6 weeks ago thanks to Peter Chan, and then discovered the pre bonsais at Wigerts! Couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of trees I received for the price. Now my collection includes a bald cypress forest, an elm and a plum.
Anyways, just thought I would post to thank the community for the wealth of info available to beginners and just the in general healthy discussion zone. Please comment your thoughts on anything! The only tree I don’t have a plan for is the plum.
