Between Cupressus, Ginkgo or metasequoia?
I agree, ginkgo are frustrating in bonsai.There cannot be a best. There can only be a favorite and that depends on what you plan for it. Personally I love all of them but I have an affection for ginkgo that proceeds any of my bonsai endeavors.
That doesn't mean it is my favorite of the three for bonsai.
How about larch?Ginkgo is best for people with a phobia of the letter “S”
In swamp climate?Olive is best.
How about larch?
Not a problem but no reason for your education to end.Sorry for my writing, I quit school at 16
Poster is about zone 9 and 90% humidity. Olive is a great choice for his climate and cypress is a natural.How about larch?
Also great, as long as you only have oneOlive is best.
How about larch?
Limited on space. I highly suggest you also study styles of bonsai. See what styles intrigue you. To me its more than a tree in a pot. Its finding your niche...of good bones that when you look at your tree. It brings pride in taking it to the next level. Bones/structure there...to make the journey fun.I agree, ginkgo are frustrating in bonsai.
My mean, i don't have too much space now!
I only can take 2 trees, and doesn't want they are too different like Juniperus - Carpinus.
I'm fan of spruce but not sure Picea Pungens doing good in bonsai.
Tell me more about this tree. And do you know how to keep a spruce small? What I can do with the apical bud?

DRAIN THE SWAMP !!!@Louisinass, it seems that you live in the same swamp that PinNoir lived in, perhaps you've made his/her acquaintance? It appears you recently changed your username. Probably just a coincidence......
If this is so why list them in your 3 choices. I am assuming , like others, that your reference to cypress means bald cypress. Interesting to note that all three of your choices are deciduous conifers, none of which would be a great choice as a beginner tree compared to the many many choices available. Honestly, just get a plant and go. If you don't like it, change it later. There is no answer to your original question. There are only opinions and choices.BC are too common for me
Is NOT deciduous. This is true Cypress.Cupressus
Yes it is if that is what poster truly seeks.Is NOT deciduous. This is true Cypress.
