Hi everyone,
So, I’m thinking about buying a tree from a nursery I trust. I was thinking that if I got the tree, and got it established in a pot, and then begin the bonsai process, I could taper and turn it into a bonsai tree.
Before I say this, let me state my goal for Bonsai. My goal is to have a bonsai with a relatively thick trunk, and looks like a mature tree in the wild, but a miniature version. I figured if I bought a tree from a nursery that already had a thick trunk, I could get it established and then start training it to be tapered.
What you guys think? Is this something that can be done? Is it possible to take a big 7 foot nursery tree and turn it into a bonsai?
If so, how? Are there any pages on this forum that can give me step-by-step directions?
