Hello this is my first post so I will first introduce myself and then talk about my current 2nd attempt at bonsai.
My name is Jason and I live in Alberta, Canada. I love it here, I love the cold and the snow, I also love the short summers. I'm new at bonsai about 2 years watching videos and Internet researching.
My first tree was a small berry tree which I dug from my property and put into a pot. It was at the wrong time of the year and put into the wrong soil amongst many mistakes. It was a complete failure. My second tree is an avacado tree which I didn't realize at the time not a good choice for bonsai. I also have a couple lemon and Chinese apple pear seedlings. All are going to be growing indoors.
I'll discuss my avacado here. It was growing great for about 8 months until I moved an hour away. After a year the leaves started browning and falling off, eventually there was very few left and I defoliated and chopped of the top in frustration. To my surprise it grew back with branches and healthier smaller leaves. The only thing I've done since is pinch the top of the tall branch.
Does anyone have any comments to how I can grow this to a nice tree? I'm a newb so I appreciate the help.
Thanks.
