I believe once i get one growing it would be a good out door bonsi but im begining to think it wont work well as an indoor. Id also like to try an eastern redbud and a dogwood at some point.
Indoor? I thought they weren't tropical.

Posted 7 years 9 months ago #31437There must be other local species you can work with first to get the hang of transplanting and growing trees in pots. Starting with a difficult species to take care of is only going to lead to frustration and a much slower learning process.Csmith wrote: No i don't sadly im having troble getting one to transplant at all.

Not having experience with bonsai, trying to grow a tree indoors that belongs outdoors and using a species that is not so very suitable for bonsai will make your start as a beginning bonsai grower very, very difficult and, to be honest, most probably not a succes.
If you want to grow an indoor tree, follow Spacewood's advice.
Else find a suitable, local species and grow it outdoors.
