hey everyone,
I Want to get back into bonsai! And I say back in because I had about 5 trees that I had purchased "done" about ten years ago but I was 13 yrs old and let them die. I went to a horticultural show and was really intrigued by the "cool mini trees". I have recently gotten back into the hobby and am really serious about sticking with it this time around. I have purchased a few junipers from a nursery and played with them a bit (I'm pretty sure I pushed one a little too far because it is browning a little. I have a huge weeping willow in my backyard and have heard they are easy to root from clippings. How are they to bonsai? I've always wanted one. I hear it is a lot of pruning and trimming but that's what draws me to them so much. I want a fast growing tree so that I can constantly be busy tending to it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also any bigginer tips would help greatly (trees for beginners?) I know a willow isn't one of them but I am really set on the idea.
Thanks!
Looking forward to being a part of this site and learning as much as I can!
