He's a chow/shar pei
Alberta spruce 5yrs old-2 of training
Inb4 sloppy wiring. Just trying to get a shape.
Thoughts on next stage?
10/10 pomegranate
Can I get a link or two on where I can get one of these? Should I look somewhere that isn't amazon?

Find someone locally that makes bonsai. Don't order one online to be shipped.
Also, don't buy some shitty ficus stump or a Japanese garden juniper in a bonsai pot without training. Those are Malsai.
I am growing a (Horse-chestnu) Aesculus hippocastanum.
It's about 30 cm and and a bit thick already, it's about 4 years old grown from seed.
I am wondering how I could stimulate branch growth? will there eventually start growing branches lower down the trunk or not?

Best way is to remove smaller branches forcing it to grow more leaves and small twiggy branches from the larger ones. They will then get thicker and you can grow back the smaller ones later.

I never got this hobby.
Also, it kind of rubs me funny. Obviously plants don't have feelings, but it always reminds me of chinese foot binding.

Don't mean to be an ass, but that wiring is a fucking mess. Be careful, it will dig in a lot earlier and snap a lot easier.

Also, wonderful bonsai.

Not that anon, but some smartphones aren't that smart.
I'd love bonsai, but they are so needy, and Texas summers will murder anything in a pot that small.
I like bonsai.
