I agree very much with you, vbonsaichief, especially for species of trees growing in the most northen zones ( zone 4 and lower).
The problem is that the population of people living in those zones is much lower than the others so that we do not yet have many experts or many bonsai enthusiasts who have tried to style the many different species of trees and shrubs that may have good potentials for making world class bonsai.
For the time being we are mostly limited with non native imported species which can still make descent bonsai but not as good as the natives which are the ones really well adapted to our climatic conditions.
