How long should the trunk be? I still cant find the nebari, need a bigger pot From what i can see, the trunks keeps going under the soil, i dont know how much larger it will be, so my point is, whats the usual trunk lenght for japanese maples? Should i air layer it if its too long?

Impressed with all the answers, thank you all.

As of right now i don't know about the nebari on this tree, at least it cant be seen from the ground level, i'll post a picture later tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks for that, exactly my thoughts on the matter, its hard to argue with someone who has learned the traditional way about the power of the internet and how useful it can be when it comes to pretty much anything

What do you think of this one?, Its about 10 years old according to the nursery where i got it from. At the moment we're in spring in my country, temperatures from 57 to 80 F° (rising from here on until march) I actually like the size of the trunk, what can be done now?, re pot, style...

Hello Everyone, I come from Chile, poor bonsai culture in general(I'm part of that aswell by the way), but we try to do our best. The thing is this: I just went to a bonsai nursery, the most respected in this country judging its quality. So I'm talking with the owner (bonsai artist with...

Thanks for the tips, what would be a nice soil mix for this tree?, since regular azaleas needs acid soil, i was wonderings about the soil composition for bonsai azaleas. Thanks

Hi Everyone What do you think of this azalea as a future bonsai?, I got it real cheap at a nursery , the "crossing trunks" convinced me, actually im letting it grow since its spring in my country. What should i do after this growing season, what's the course of accion with this kind of...

Hello everyone, im looking for your help on this little tree, you see, Im new to bonsai and branch development is something i really do not know about. Here are some pictures of my Chinese elm, here in Chile spring just begun, so the tree its growing like it should be, but i'm worried about...

October: Sadly ive been moving for the last 15 years every year so planting in a yard its not an option (sadly) , but you got it right, i would like a tree i can work with, enjoy and of course learn while it grows. At the moment i have a chinese elm (it was quite nice when i bought it...

Thanks augustine, that was really helpfull, regarding to growing, ive always wondered, whats the real difference between a nursery tree thats been turned into bonsai and a seed grown bonsai which looks exactly the same, (im going philosophical here) but what does actually make a bonsai, bonsai...

the main thing is to re-pot it in a larger pot isn't it?, I found recipe online for a conifer mix, which is 6:3:1, akadama:regular soil:gravel. what do you think about that?

Nice to know im not the only one out there, did you repot it and let it grow freely im guessing, right?, about that what soil should i use? Regular plant soil?

I bought it because the guy in the shop told me it had potential, i guess i was fooled by ignorance. So what i understand its that this tree doesn't have any branches that i can work with at the moment, and that i need to let it grow to have something to work with, right?

I recently bought a little juniper, I've only been watering it, the thing is I do not know where to start with this one, hope you guys can guide me on the styling, pruning, or anything to begin shaping it. Thank you!

Thankyou for your help, sadly i do not have any bonsai club, but ill do my best with this tree.

i already got a jupiner and a chinese elm, both bought as bonsai, this is a nursery tree and i'd like to learn with this one, lets say i would rather "screw" this one up, than the other two, specially cause they already are shaped, wired, and so on.

so how is this type of tree for bonsai, any guide, tutorial or something i can start with?

In the tag it says ellwoodii pine, dont know if here its identified as a pine, i also just read that it might be a cypress elwoodii?, does anybody know about this?
