I have done this! 10' olive in a 15 gal can. I had a
Triumph Spitfire at the time. It's a really nice
bonsai.

However, I was also told, "The problem with
bonsais is, a bonsai is a
plant. And plants like to grow, and do not like
small pots."
So, it sounded like there was something
inherently wrong in keeping a
bonsai.
I have one bonsai currently. A Fukien Tea.
That's not allowed.
You _must_ have more than one! It's the law!
That nursery seems like a great candidate for the
bonsiests' favorite
trick: Go in, buy big, 6-foot tree with great
base, pay for it. Pull
out Felco clippers, chop off top 5 feet. Leave
with base in pot.

I think that's an excellent idea. Be sure the
owner is watching. Leave a
little more than a foot--maybe 2 ft.
Too big, Craig.
