And no I don't have a green thumb. Just ten dirty fingers.

I couldn't agree more Ron, I made mistakes my first couple years in bonsai like many others have.
I think if beginners were to stick with trees that are native to where they live, they would have better success. That would give them a good start on what to look for about caring for trees as bonsai.
