I had a bonsai once. It was really nice, I took care of it and all and it was good decoration. I might have spoken to it too many times though.

ahhh better than talking to yourself like I do.

Not 100% sure if I want to banzai it, the process of banzai is akin to torture, the whole restricting the roots, truck, branches ect. But for a novice, how easy or hard are they to maintain? I have a degree in ecology, so know about ideal soil pH levels and growth patterns and rates. I reckon I could grow a fine specimen of a dwarf Norse spruce
