So I messed up a bit with the first one, but i scouted out 5 new conifers that i will dig up this winter. Also, can you take a cutting to make bonsai in summer? I have an apple, cherry, birch, and saskatoon berry tree, and I would like to make bonsai out of all of them. What is the best way to do this? should I root the cuttings in water? What time of year should I do it?
