i've just started learning and experimenting with bonsai. i've begun training a japonese loquat from a sucker of a mature tree.

the question is: can i keep it under 20" and have it fruit?

that elm looks great, btw.

bonzai basically means small tree in pot. there are a shit load of books to get out on it if your interested. it can be loads of fun. you can put wire around the branches to shape them how you want (e.g wind swept, straight) and you constantly trim them to make them look nice and neat. the main aim is for the bonzai to look natural.
peace out

im going to buy a money bonzi tree thats what its called and the leaves look kinda like pot
