Hi there everyone, after doing quite a lot of homework I got my first bonsai today, a tiny little needle juniper. Since it is so young I haven't thought about what style I would like it to be. Right now it is just a big bundle of needles on top of a stick! There are so many interesting styles with junipers I thought that after letting it grow on its own for another year so I can see how it is shaping up and start working on it from there. Or is it better to start wiring the trunk immediately?
I know I won't be able to do anything substantial with it for a few years while it grows so I am planning on getting another bonsai pretty soon that is older that I can get a little experience with.
If anyone has any pointers I would definitely appreciate them but I have been doing a lot of looking on the forum and it seems like there is a lot of good information on here. I also just joined the San Diego Bonsai Club so if anyone here is in it maybe I'll see you in a few weeks at the next meeting.
