Well, considering there are bonsai that are 1" tall, and that there are some
that are 5' tall, I guess yours fall right in the middle zone ;-)

There is no "right" size for bonsai, it all depends on the tree you have,
and what you like to grow.

With time you'll develop a preference. I certainly have, although my trees range
in height (not counting the pot) from 4" up to over 3 feet. I tend to like the big
ones with fat trunks. Many of my trees in development will be in the 2.5-3 foot
range.

One factor to take into account is leaf size. If you have a tree that has leaves
that don't reduce in size, a bigger tree will be better.
