I grew it for about 12 years, and it remained stunted in size in a small pot, yet otherwise apparently healthy. Unfortunately when my marriage broke up it remained with my ex, and it's probably now long gone. I would have loved to continue growing it.

I had one once, but unlike you I never got around to figuring out how to treat it - it died :( But I will try again, and this time I might actually a) buy a quality tree; and b) try to keep it alive.

But, I have to say, I like having 'em around and plan to get more.<br /><br />For those of you considering giving it a try...do some reading, join a good bonsai forum and learn about the different plants.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060752369115661100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133116280339316936.post-16104308417231846042011-04-02T22:04:06.118-05:002011-04-02T22:04:06.118-05:00I've admired bonsai for years but never tried ...I've admired bonsai for years but never tried it myself. <br /><br />Writing is a retirement career for me, so I treasure every moment that I'm doing what I love instead of reporting to a corporate job.
