One more thing to add for those who would like to grow their own material but are discouraged by the time-factor.
The secret is to work with a larger number or trees of various age.
If you have only 5 seedlings and nothing else, there is not much to do during the first few years. If you also have a few older ones, they will keep you busy while the young ones are growing.
If you have a few dozen, you will get busier every year as the trees get closer to pre-bonsai stage.
