So, if they are properly trimmed and cared for can you make any tree into a bonsai tree? I only ask because these all see to be different kinds.

its wonderful and amazing to see that these bonsais grow the way it is grown naturally, aside from the fact that they’re a lot smaller ofcourse.

@tra962
Bonsai are invariably better looked after and cared for than any other plant. We treat them more like pets ! Root pruning simply replaces old, redundant roots with young fibrous, useful ones.
Trees in nature are often naturally dwarfed – but they then die. A well cared for bonsai doesn’t – and they can live for centuries because of that care.
However, turning trees/shrubs into images of animals or geometric shapes (topiary)- THAT’S weird.
Do you rescue dying trees from mountains ? We do

i think its a bit of a cruelty. Growing them for aesthetic purposes rather than what they are meant for. Stunting and forcing them into shapes and sizes we desire is being unfair to their original design.

so they dont need alot of root space then? in all of these pics, the pot looks rather small for the tree

To respond to other inquiries, here:
The third tree is a Ficus Macrophylla (?) a fig with tough, coin shaped leaves- a very cool species
1:29 Tamarisk
1:54 John Naka’s Juniper (san jose, I think) and yes- it was meant to look like it was just about to fall into the ocean
2:35 juniper (Kishu)
3:19 Bald cypress (Louisianna origin)

The Beech at 1:45 is proceeded by a dormant Eleagnus and followed by a Ginko

I have looked at Easybonsaigarden’s web site and I don’t think they have anything to do with these particular trees, which are part of an exceptional collection in a museum. Please seek out information at Bonsai Northwest, the Puget Sound Bonsai Association or Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection, itself, if you want real and truthful information.

These are Weyerhaeuser’s trees at the Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection, Federal Way Washington. You should have given them and David DeGroot credit here. The tree at 1:45 is a beech tree with exceptional branch structure- lovely in the winter with dark red brown buds on silver bark.

What type of tree is the one at 1:45? How much would it cost to buy in a state like that or what’s your best estimate of how long it took to grow that?
Thanks,
