Welcome to Bonsai fellow sacramentian!!! (I am not alone on this site anymore, WOOT!) Where abouts are ya in sac? Im in Citrus Heights myself. Capital Nursery, Home Depot, and lowes are within 5mins distance from me so its cool. Matsudas is about 15mins drive but always worth it. Bonsai takes patience and can be very rewarding, hope you stick to it. holler at me sometime and we can talk tree.
