Anyone delve? Suddenly I’m interested! Questions to follow...while I’m reading online.
1. These plants use regular seeds from trees 30’ or higher. What makes them grow slow? I assume pruning and keeping them in small pots has a lot to do with it.
They’ve always fascinated me, but I prefer just to look at them. I’m afraid I’d destroy it.

Bonsai trees fascinate me.They’ve always fascinated me, but I prefer just to look at them. I’m afraid I’d destroy it.
That said, it’s as much the shallow container as the constant pruning.
If I have a concern it is how much attention they need. I don’t want a plant that will roll over and die at the slightest provocation. At the other place someone said miss one watering and it’s all over. Maybe an evergreen like a juniper might be a better way to go as my impression is an evergreen might be more drought tolerant?They’ve always fascinated me, but I prefer just to look at them.

Daily watering, you are turning me off. I would imagine that an evergreen or even your ginkgo would not require daily watering. Isn’t that a large pot for something designated as a bonsai? Not being critical, just curious. This is making me think, that an indoor bonsai would be better for 90F climate. And btw, I am not sold on this as a hobby yet, still gathering info.lots of work and daily watering. the roots are shallow enough that the tree is slow growing. there are nice dwarf trees now you can have a tree stay small with normal work.
this guy grows maybe 1/2" a year. I have found a several really small guys that will stay small. I lost a few as they dried out too fast. a dwarf ginkgo.

I meant bonsai need daily watering. these guys take normal watering. you have the smallness of bonsai without all the work. we have one great nursery with a lot of dwarf trees.Daily watering, you are turning me off.

Interesting! Do you have to prune it at all? I assume you do.Here is a dwarf grape vine I think it’s a Chardonnay The grapes are almost full-size I think the plant is about 10 years old now. This is my idea of bonsai easy to care for plants that stay small on their own.

nope never have. that's why I like these guys they are genetically small.Interesting! Do you have to prune it at all? I assume you do.
You might eat that...You could always just plant broccoli.
I for one would rather eat a bonsai tree!You might eat that...
Winds up looking like some kind of bug. Seems like a lot of work.Funny enough I watched this yesterday, which I didn't even know is a thing.
