Hi Koda. Welcome!
If you add your location to your profile we can better help you. Also if you figure it out post pictures of the trees you don't know what they are. Then maybe an I.D. can he made.
I myself wouldn't mess with sumac because like the head nutter said in your other thread they have big compound leaves.
Once we know where you live we can also help you better to make a good selection for beginner species.

That is Eastern White pine. Some people on here are trying them.
Of all of the trees pictured none catch my eye or are good subjects for bonsai.
Good beginner bonsai trees for your area would be elms (just about any species)
Junipers. Shimpaku,procumbens,parsons.
If you want to try pines. Mugo or scots.
All of the trees listed above survive where I live. They should do well for you also. You might even have warmer winters if you have Japanese Maples. Too cold for them here.

Sumac might be compound.
Might be difficult.

But the fall colors are nothing short of beautiful.

Search it.

They are fantastic!

Amur maple instead if you are after fall colors.

its not native to here it was planted by my landlord over 20 year ago. it gets at the harshest here -30 to -40. some how shes lived and i think it because of my climate she naturaly bonsaied. and ive looked the sumac bonsaied up and looks absilutly gorgeous. dont know many trees that work well but i was just wondering if the trees at my place would work. and how would and when would i want to take a cutting. like i said a got clonex rooting horomone to help out.
