I have a swamp behind the house. Might need to go check to see if there are any suitable tree back there...


I've considered it. But, the only real money is in trees that are "finished" and they can take many years to complete.

Bonsai is a very interesting and very complex hobby. There are a lot dedicated artists out there, but man is it sloooooooow. I actually have 6 japanese zelkova trees planted in my back yard that are finally ready to chop this year. I planted them 7 years ago.

So you cut a few inches from the dirt first. Then dig up and pot.

Or dig up and pot it then cut the trunk.
