When I talk someone about my new hobby "Bonsai" , I beware that people understand it as Bonzai... But I'm trying to teach my close environment this little difference.

I don't want to buy ready Bonsai(dont know the adjective for it )
Tomorrow,I'm thinking to buy Acer or Buxus... I loved the juniper but there are two options here, 1.skyrocket 2.horizontalis

That oak seems very cool but hard to find it here.
Tomorrow i will look deeper and detailed. I can ask you for style advises if it is ok for you

'ready bonsai' is fine.

Skyrocket is not suitable, but horizontalis is:


However, it may be quite hard to find anything else then young ones, that don't have a good trunk yet.

This Bonsai seems good but im sure mine is not going to be like that,but I'm going to take a look for horizontalis,too. Im thinking to make styles as , Broom and Moyogi, maybe Fukinagashi.

Sorry, i guess the name "skyrocket" is a huge clue . I guess, going off topic a bit, a lot of stuff (here at least) from garden centers are already trained into a pom pom or just a blob on a stick and not much free growing material. This is where i but-out. Good luck with whatever you are doing .

Note: if you want a broom style, then a deciduous tree may be better?- just a thought.

Welcome back Bob
I will take a look your advice,too. I'm very confused Bob, but I want too much to make my own Bonsai. Tomorrow, I will create a new topic for your advices and guides. I will be waiting you at there and I have a little question about the pots, I wrote it to another topic
Thank you so muchh

Thank you
