well you'll probably all cringe but I've been developing my Texas Ebony for about a year. Nothing much, just watching it grow and trying to learn what it likes and what it does when the seasons change and letting it settle in.
I've done a small bit of wiring and now am again watching to see how it does.
I am curious if anyone has some more mature specimens of this not very traditional tree. I am not sure how they develop and what a more mature tree might look like. I think mine is 3-4 years old at best.
Here's a pic - not very exciting but still a pleasing little tree that seems to be doing well.

Do a Google search for them - there seemed to be several people who have developed this tree for bonsai.

We're used to it.
This plant will not become a bonsai this way. Trees are not developed in their final bonsai pot. They need room to grow, so they can develop a trunk, more branches etc., so you get something to work with.

Ok. I have more pots and other locations. I have had this plant about two years as well.
What do you recommend? Larger pot? Move outdoors (again on 3 season porch unheated in winter with windows open most of the year). It is southern facing so light all day but no direct sun except late afternoon.
Thanks in advance. Being a pretty expert dog trainer and stained glass person, I sympathize with noob questions. You've been very patient.

Larger pot or, preferably, just plant it in the ground. Leave it for a decade or two then get to work.
Don't worry, by that time you'll probably be an expert in this, too.

sometimes it's the smallest tree/shrub/plant that gets us interested in this great hobby. But it's the quest to train a 名媛直播 that keeps us here. I'm glad you won't be discouraged by the realization that it will take years for this tree to be a 名媛直播.
