Hi Jaded I like Bonsai and once tried with an oak seedling I found in the garden but didn't get far before it died .
I have a Liquidambar styraciflua that I planted in the lawn about 15 years ago not realising they grow to 12 meters
Every year I prune it right back and keep the hight to about 7 feet and the leaves and branches have got progressively smaller although it is not in a container. It is a sort of mini tree thought not really a Bonsai
