Sorry I don't have any pics to contribute. No matter how much I have
tried or how much I've spent, I can't keep bonsai alive for more than 5
or 6 months! So I have to settle for "virtual bonsai". Can I please get
a copy of it when you are done?


You obviously are doing something wrong.

What trees have you tried?
Where did you try to grow them? Indoors? Outdoors?
Were they "finished" bonsai, or plants you made into bonsai?
If the latter, did you dig it up or buy at a nursery, cut the
roots, cut the top and plant in a shallow bonsai pot all at
once?
Have you looked for a local bonsai club to give you some help?
Have you taken a bonsai class?
Have you looked at our on-line juniper class (get to it through
the address below)?
Have you read everything in our Knowledge Base (same address)?
Have you read everything at www.evergreengardenworks.com?
Have you bought or borrowed (library) any books on bonsai? Any
videos?
Have you any experience at growing anything else?

Money spent is not a measure of longevity. You can kill the
absolute best bonsai in the world in exactly as many days as it
takes the worst one to die.
