Hi my Name is Graeme.
Can some one assist me re the Quereus Trojana is it a good species for Bonsai, as it appears to be an evergreen and may require a different technique to deciduous oaks. (I am a beginner novice!!!) thank you

Hey :)
I saw those oaks in their native habitat during a Balkan field trip. I don’t know nothing about them as bonsai, but I would try it for the sake of... Couldn’t be much difficult to work with than Q.robur. Wintering could be hard on my climate tho...
They were on the smaller side and looks like they prefer to growing on hilltops. The climate is fairly hot and dry, and the soil is rocky. If you’re near them, of course you have all of that info.. : )
I hope someone can chim in who knows more in bonsai aspect about..

Ditto Felidae. I saw some kind of oak in Crete with small leaves for an oak. What I saw might not be your species but it would have made a decent bonsai. You want to research the climate the tree is used to and try to match it.
