Looks like a lot of fun! I'm trying to teach myself, but I really need a school like this.

Once you get ready to put the Juniper in a bonsai pot, you can prune the roots. I wouldn't suggest doing it until then. If you go to Books-A-Million, you can find some helpful books to teach you how to prune and the right time to do so. As far as yamadori, yeah, it's best not to go getting trees off of other folks' property. But you can find lots of acceptable trees just growing in random places. Just remember, this stuff takes a looooooong time.

Just have to find the right "yamadori" - tree from the wild. Make sure you get the roots, then just prune away what you don't want. Besides that, you have to understand that it takes years (10, all the way to 100s for really old trees) for these people to sculpt these trees. Stay patient and keep looking. Good luck.

these are fantastic trees. Shame theres a lack of superb trees in the UK. I write a website called bonsai art where the trees pale in comparison to these Japanese trees!
