I had one and managed to kill it quite easily. I think I might have done too much root work in my eagerness to get it into a smaller pot |

Don't do too much pruning in one go, they also don't like small pots but good to practice on. A lot have multiple branches coming from one point, so that has to be addressed or else you will get a bigger growth on the trunk in that area |

I've found the branches to set pretty well of you let the wire bite in a bit, they heal wounds quite nicely too. And grow and backbud well. the difficult bit is getting a structure you're happy with |

Mine had terrible roots and after I tried some more serious rootwork it dried up, went to the big bonsai forest in the sky. Spruce - ugly roots by Blue Sky Bonsai, on Flickr Spruce dried up in heat wave. Gonner. by Blue Sky Bonsai, on Flickr |
