I know this is a big question. but in general. I like to keep most in the two foot area. Is that to tall?? \ 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.

CHeers Nic Lower North Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand 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.
