Hey, it's my turn to be stupid for three minutes: bonsai masters, is it really slow growth that we want in bonsai? In my experience (15 years of being a newbie!), the fast growing trees are the ones you can really train. Slow growing ones (like my mount
ain hemlock), I had to simply try not to ruin too much. So I'm thinking that a growth retardant isn't very useful in bonsai. Whatcha think?
