So, I have finally decided to get involved with a new hobby and I have a few questions.? I eventually intend to take the beginners course, but think it is better to get my hands a little dirty so I have something to learn against.? I've watched enough videos and its like drinking water through a fire hose.

I realize this is a long term project, I'm old enough that I don't think I have 20 years to play around, and I am trying to think how to make better use of time.? I went to the nursery to buy my first tree, a Norway spruce, and it is small at about 40 cm and the trunk is very small.? I realize that once it goes into a bonsai pot the growth slows way down.?

Would it be better to plant this tree in the ground for a year and let it mature for a year to get a better trunk size?? I have included an image of the plant.

?

If I do plant it in the ground, can I start to learn some of the techniques like wiring before it is moved to a bonsai pot.??

I do plan to buy and learn on a few plants in the short term, expecting them to turn out not so good, to attempt to get some understanding going.? If someone wanted an easy plant that has a lot of tips already available, what plant would you pick?

Thanks, appreciate any advice.

One year in the ground makes no significant/ noticeable difference In thickness. If you do not have more time to spend, there is no reason for ground growing.

If you want a thicker trunk and have no time to spend on thickening it by yourself, get a starter material that is alreasy thick enough for your desired design.

Spruce takes a long time to get a tick trunk, It seems to me you like some trees to work on straight away. Different variants of junipers is great to start with. Find one or more with a good base and crooked trunk. I like the juniper procumbens nana. Junipers are easy to wire and do not break so easy and are not to expensive. It is important to have many trees, if not you will probably overwork the one you got and kill it.

Look for trees in your lokal area, with good trunks, dig them up in spring. Hedge plants is often good for bonsai. People often give away old garden plants if you come and dig them up(in spring). But look for trunks that have the desired size, that is what takes time. Good luck.?

Buy a book, join a club, best way to learn is to see what others do, and be able to ask questions. The courses on here are excellent too.
