I've only found this thread today and I'm loving all the bonsai porn. To me, bonsai trees are just so.. magical, if you know what I mean? I can't explain it, it's the same sort of thing with nice aquascaped aquariums, like some beautiful miniature world.

Anyhow about 2 weeks ago I was thrilled to find a wee oak seedling in a flowerbed, maybe a gift from the birds or squirrels, and I would love to dig it up and bonsai it. Should I leave it to overwinter or get it inside now? The stem is about 3 inches tall and it has 3 leaves, last time I looked.

I've been meaning to start bonsai for years and have that many books on the subject but I just never got to it. I'm quite successful with plants and grow everything from seed and cuttings so I shouldn't find it a problem, but I think about how many years it would take to look how I want and then I start feeling old and sad!

Cheers Crocoduck :) I guess the baby oak can stay where it is for a while, it should be safe provided the postman doesn't walk across the flowerbed, he's got previous form for that.

Yeah Amano's tanks are awesome, I don't have much luck with aquascaping as I love my bottom feeders too much and they always mess things up, but I have a big glass bottle I'm going to plant up with no fish this time and hopefully I can make something nice.
