Hello everyone, I have had a Chinese Elm since 2013 and it is now 9 years old. It's a low maintenance tree that keeps it's round shape throughout it's life (at least with the way it was pruned), so my experience is kind of lacking. Ever since I bought that first bonsai, I have wanted to make my own so I can have a little tree that can accompany me through my life, like an undying pet. Keeping that in mind, this summer I entered a store and was surprised too see tiny pines in tiny vases. I immediately fell in love with one of those tiny plants and decided to bring it home. I have a relatively large pot for it, and I waited until Autumn in order to repot, since I might to root prune and wanted to be safe.
As such, I would like to know if this tree can possibly turn into a great bonsai, or if it's just not worth it. Also, I have no idea of the pine species nor how to prune it's needles. Really appreciate the help!
