The answer is there is no "preferred" way of creating bonsai. I prefer to purchase prebonsai nursery material, or use collected material. Some want to grow from seed. Others want to propagate with cuttings and air layering, others are adamant that the greatest masterpieces can come from common nursery stock.

Still others prefer to go to workshops where they pay for a tree and the instruction, and others prefer to collect good mature trees and pay others to maintain them.

There are many paths, my son, that lead to bonsai nirvana. They are all the same path.

So the question is, what do you want to do?
