What is your favorite deciduous tree to make into a bonsai ?
I was talking about species and of course everyone likes great nebari and movement with taperOld, mature trunks with decent taper, good movement and a great nebari without visible traces of prior work

Cottonwoods are THE WORST.which species people prefer NOT to use for bonsai
There is already a thread like that somewhere that got tons of replies, no need for another pleaseIn conclusion.. I think it might be better to ask which species people prefer NOT to use for bonsai. Each person will have their own favorite and their reasons. But there are a bunch of species to avoid certainly if you are just beginning. Think of wallnut, horsechestnut, platanus spp., Acer platanoides.
