I would like to get one and have been discussing it with someone on another forum. Any tips or advice from you experienced growers?
Does anyone grow Bonsai trees?
- Thread starter Proud Marine Dad
- Start date
Any or with pepper plants?
This link has been brought up in a few conversations on the forums for combining the two:

I currently lack the time and especially the patience for it, but one day maybe

Thanks Bill. That is very cool as well!
I was thinking a traditional Bonsai like this:

I would go to local and pic up a plant and train and pot it yourself a lot of the time those trees are small and dont grow much
something like this can be done cheap plus its more activity than just getting one already made and done

Thanks Nightshade
I have been watching Bonsai videos since I got home from work. Maybe a new hobby? 
Check out GrahamWPotters videos they are unbelievably cool I have been into bonsai for a while
Thanks. I have been watching Bonsai Empire videos on YouTube with that Dutch guy narrating. They are good.
Canna is an annual so we can't bonsai it unless it gets light 24/7. lolmiguelovic said:Do mums count? Canna mumsai? Bonsaibis? Cannasai? XD Wait. I've got it. Ganjsai. or maybe Ganjasai? I'm terrible at making words
It started out just for storing genetics, but lately I've been cleaning the rootball a bit and trying to lignify some of the roots.
fred is a dudes name. what gives.
I do. I haven't grown anything for a while, however, being very interested in Asian culture from my Martial Arts days, my wife and I took an extensive course in growing Bonsai. I have grown several conifers....kind of the established starting or learning tree. However, you can branch out (no pun intended) into many other species like Oaks, Maples, Bamboo, etc. It is a fun hobbies, but not one for the impatient. You know that feeling of having to wait 75 to 125 days to produce peppers? Multiply that by 10. Although, there is some maintenance, most is limited pruning and shaping. Please let me know if you have questions.
While a basic overview of the process, the video posted above is spot-on. It is very traditional and follows all of the traditional Bonsai laws, which are very important. Make no mistake, there is a right way and a wrong way to grow Bonsai. It is all about attention to detail and making the tree look natural. You do get some growers that really distort the natural shape of the tree, almost to see just how extreme they can get, but this is blasphemous in this traditional art.
