[QUOTE=ekillians]Also, don't forget to try Protekt by Dyna-Gro.
I agree with the Dyna-Gro recomendation. Several years ago, I did a test to determine the effectivness of Protekt.
I put 2 identical well developed Kingsville boxwoods in full sun. As you may know, Kingsvilles pefer shade to remain green. I treated one with Protekt and also watered normally. The other was watered the same as the treated Kingsville.
After a few months of sun, the treated Kingsville was still green, and the untreated one was yellowing.
I was impressed with the results of the experiment.

Learning the mechanics of bonsai is a matter of rote. Over and over again the processes are practiced until the hands and eyes know the moves.
Learning the art of bonsai may be more like water wearing away a stone, or climbing a mountain where the peak is always shrouded in fog and just out of reach.
Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.
