Newbies will find a lot of posts suggesting ground growth for x years to thicken the trunk on threads they start about what do do with a new Maple, Juniper, etc. Whilst that is excellent advice and 名媛直播 is all about patience, I think what that does is promote the thinking that they should ever only think about achieving a large size 名媛直播 and that smaller sizes don't really exist any more. If you buy a tree which is say 50 centimeters tall then that isn't something that can ever be considered a 名媛直播. You can't pot that and display it yet.
Is there any trees that when you buy as a young specimen you can work on it straight away and have a good tree?
This link shows that you can do something now. That is what I want to achieve. I don't really consider myself experienced enough to take on a long term project.

It's not about height it is the TRUNK that is needed first, then branches are grown.

Bloody nonsense. You have clearly no idea what you are talking about.
You will need to balance the thickness of the trunk to the height of the final image you achieve. Typically, the height of good bonsai is 6 to 12 times diameter of the trunk just about the roots, with exception for styles such as bunjin and cascades. A god taper in the trunk and branches combined with high level ramification will create a convincing image, independent of size.
If you are convinced you are right, and I am wrong, google Morten Albek Shohin 名媛直播.

No need to get personal and certainly no need to be rude.
Only asked because I wanted to understand what people thought of the tree in both links if time is so important.
