I came across this conifer at my nearby nursery. I noticed the informal upright trunk. I think after some serious pruning and wiring it will look awesome. It's only $25. Should I go for it?? What would I need to transfer it into? Can I report it into a bonsai pot already? Or does it need more training?

I'm also confused where exactly I should trim off the branches. And where my 1st branch should start. Any suggestions?? I'm thinking the thick one but it's kinda high..? Here in some photos of what I was thinking of doing with it. What do you think?

I would never buy this. It will take you half a decade to get foliage back to the trunk.
