Just imagine your bonsai saying to you, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

I am the only person I know who still has their original tree.... not much to look at Yamadori Chinese Juniper..... its survival through my idiotic mistakes is a testiment to its own insane genetics rather than any skill on my part.

Over the years I've killed more trees than I can count and have left many great trees in the houses I've left. Since I just got started into bonsai I've yet to kill one unless you count the frost bitten rainbow eucalyptus that I dug up and potted in my attempt to save it. OTOH, I've yet to have a true bonsai tree so I'm a Oh for Oh. My pre-bonsai trees all live now but who knows what they will do when I put any of them in true bonsai pot.

Nope and don't plan on it! It's the only tree with a name. It's the 1st tree I posted about here
And two months ago:
And when I repotted about a month ago!
It only cost me $25 as a "pre-bonsai", but it's my most expensive tree. My daughter loves it lol must not die ever!!!!

I don't remember how I killed my first tree but I remember how I killed my first collected tree. It was way too loose in the pot. Now I tie the collected trees down like a mad man.

Not my first project, but the first one I really cared about. I picked up a small, collected Utah juniper at our local club's spring show. Really neat, maybe 35-year-old tree. It doesn't get too cold where I live, but first I thought it froze on too many consecutive nights. Then I convinced myself that the soil was too compacted -- not a big deal because it would have needed minimal water in the winter, anyway. Then I tried repotting it in late-January. Then it was dead for sure. I still have it so I can shame myself daily.
