Cheapest way to start a Bonsai.

[@BonsaiNorthwest]

I agree, garden center material is a great way to get into bonsai. It's my preferred method and the advice I give folks who are interested in getting into bonsai.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yes and sometimes you can find some great materials . Alot for practice as well 😁

I am only a few years into my bonsai journey so im loving everything about the hobby, there is so much to learn and there are so many amazing trees of all different species that i change my favourites quite often. At the moment though clumps and forests are really grabbing my attention.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Glad to hear that . You will get so addicted to bonsai it's amazing 😁😁

[@DeciduousSnurb]

My favorite tree species is American Hornbeam. They put out growth all growing season, are easy to transplant, very durable, develop interesting fluting trunks, are hardy in a wide range of zones 3-9, and can have pretty good fall color. Love the Crape Myrtle at 4:09, it actually reminds me of the way a lot of Hornbeams grow in the wild that I see, curved/slanted trunks, nice find. Also great "Intro to Bonsai" video.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yes i have been trying to get a hornbeam myself . Those are really hardy trees as well . Crepe myrtle are jst amazing

[@JattSinghRandhawa]

My favorite also is weeping willows. Question, for floppy foliage is that too much or too little water? (On my juniperus)

[@lifeofbonsai]

Weeping willing i tried and failed. But you mean like dropping foliage on it?

[@SylusSondrini]

@@lifeofbonsai no like hanging down and brown

[@lifeofbonsai]

@@SylusSondrini that could be many things. How often do you water? And were do you have it? Sun? Or indoor ?

[@jagboy69]

You have a really nice looking collection there! I'm a big fan of boxwoods. Super cheap and stays small.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Really appreciate it. Boxwoods are great for bonsai

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

My favorite tree is Rose of Sharon. Readily available and terrific for practicing clip and grow. It responds well and you can get some very delicate branching. Another is American Hornbeam.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yess rose of sharon. Specially when they bloom. The look amazing

[@robertsorrentino8293]

Great vid. My favorite bonsai tree is Juniper. I'm new to bonsai. I never thought of crepe myrtle as bonsai. They grow like weeds in my area. I'll have to give them a try. Thanks

[@lifeofbonsai]

Crepe myrtles are just amazing for bonsai

[@EricCampbell-hx4hv]

My favorite tree is the southern black cherry, they're severely under appreciated as a delicious fruit

[@lifeofbonsai]

I have never seen those before . Gotta check them out

[@SylusSondrini]

Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Kaori Hime’ or “false holly” have been my favorite bonsai I’ve had so far!
