It's probably not ready for a bonsai container yet, though. I made this mistake with a Ginkgo and it sets back the development quite a bit, with five years or so in a growing box and then on to a large bonsai container for awhile longer I'm still in the bonsai container after 10 years of slow growth, and guess what? It still needs five in the five in the box that it never got! Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

Posts: 1,258	Regarding tree [pic 3a], this broom styled tree started life in China, and as I said I hard-pruned the foliage back, now two days ago, the amount was way over a 50% reduction of the foliage mass, sadly I do not have the possibility of ground-growing any of my trees, so in bonsai pots they must live. This particular tree is a fast grower and like the other two [above] has become evergreen, permanently lives outside on my frost-free balcony. So after I defoliate it later this week, and as the new buds sprout and develope, I will watch it's progress and keep you posted.

This should give your tree's roots a chance to spread out. __________________ Carl L.

But I think you should post a picture here, so people would know what we are talking about! __________________ Carl L.

Yep and OK, here's one earlier this year, now think twice as crowded and you've got the idea, needs must that I constantly circulate the trees which is real hard on my 70yr old back, [spend two hours each day doing just that] and sure keeps me good and active.
