How tall should I keep my bonsai???

It depends how big you want them to be, what species you are growing,
what sort of plant you are starting with, how long you want them to be
in training before you bonsai them, what sort of pots you have or can
afford and probably a multitude of other factors.

Get a good book and read up on the traditional classification sizes. You
can probably also find them on the web with a quick Google.

Not to be a smarty pants, but you keep your tree as tall as it
needs to be to look its best.

should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.
