Dwarf Punica granatum is the very best for beginners
reacts very well at trimming at repotting at flowering the leaves are
nice and bear red flowers and fruits.. and with age ,as said in
Nakas's book the trunks TWISTS ... gracefully ..
it fears brisk cold so dependong where you live you need a green
gouse but when the plant has lost all leaves you can just put it in a
shade fresh -cold place but you need to keep the soil moist during its
dormancy that's all
it changes with seasons and this is a great enjoment

I certainly agree with the juniper suggestion, but in many parts
of the world, Firethorn (Pyracantha) are too disease-prone for a
beginner.

Chinese elm (outdoors and -- with care -- indoors), Ficus
(indoors), privet (outdoors and with a bit more care, indoors),
boxwood (outdoors), juniper (outdoors), bougainvillea (outdoors
whenever possible, indoors in winter), are all likely
candidates for a beginning bonsaiest.

Guys,

I would agree with all of the above except for the Juniper. I started
out with a juniper and ended up killing it (killed 2 actually). The
privet would be my suggestion.
