So, about 6 months ago, I was doing some serious reading about bonsai, and watching a bunch of YouTube videos. This is usually the precursor to me jumping head, and wallet first into a new hobby. I decided against it. But, now seeing this post I'm being tempted all over again. Living in Northern Nevada, I was going to make my first attempt a sagebrush.

My Dwarf Alberta Spruce comes from the Lowes clearnace bin...there is a lot of good material there this time of year.
They often have boxwoods with some nicely spaced branches and good trunk development.
