It looks like excellent material. If you are just starting it, it would be worth your effort to find someone who knows his.her way around bonsai to work on this tree.

i really wish i could, in a country with only 2800 people, iv yet to find 1 person that shares my interest, thats why i joined this forum, which is brilliant and very helpful!!
would it be best to trim the roots and repot this spring then start trimming it back next spring? i dont want to rush into anything that could harm the plant
