Hey everyone.
Now, I know these pictures are not as good as some of yours, but I don't care. I am becoming addicted very quickly, and I am looking forward to watching these trees mature into beautiful Bonsai trees.
Some of these have wire on them already. Some I still have to wire. Others are just too small to do anything with yet. But, as time goes on, I will post more pictures.

I even have a grape that I rooted from last year's grape vine, and the roots are very well formed. I cut the tap root off, like I was instructed, and trimmed up the small stringy roots. This grape plant will be going into a pot to become a Bonsai Grape Plant soon, and I will post pics when I do that as well.

Well... in 15 years time that oak (?) could become a pre-bonsai. The rest doesn't seem usable except for literati maybe.

Good to see you have started.

A few points of attention though. Note that growibg bonsai from seed(lings) may take a generation or more. Also try to get some more mature plants to work with. Furthermore, as far as i can tell, all of these have to be outdoors.

Have a look at some bonsai websites and the size of the trees used.
