Well, I didn't transplant it. Sort of. Basically, I took a pot out to where
it was, dropped some rocks in the bottom to promote drainage, and simply
removed the plant, and a good portion of the soil it was growing it, to the
pot. It seems to be staying alive, but then, I have only had it for four
days. Does anyone know anything about taking care of madronas? Soil type,
watering schedule, anything? I can't find any information on this anywhere.
It may very well be an impossible plant, especially for a beginner, but I'd
still like to make a go of it...

ESPECIALLY as you are a beginner at the art of bonsai, you need
to start out with trees that give you some hope of success.
Also, while it has been some years since I lived in the Pacific
NW, I'd think it is a bit late to do any transplanting -- so
perhaps a nursery plant, or just another season spent reading
about bonsai and how they work. ???
