Small bonsai do not become large bonsai. Plants are grown out in large training pots or in the ground to attain the trunk size and character desired before they ever come near a bonsai pot. http://www.louisvillebonsai.org/art...re=trunks_01_06 __________________ Bonsai News is a news robot that scours the Internet for bonsai-related information

Large trunks without chopping

Just curious, if you go this route how tall how will your trees be when you finally get a 3 or 4 inch trunk?

Quote:

I have started growing my starter trees in large pots and heavily treating with chemical fertilizers to get rapid growth. This does take routine pinching and trimming throughout the growing season. Trunk growth appears to be faster using this method without the mutilation of the chop method. - ED.
