Question about bur oak bonsai was created by PennyL

Posted 3 years 4 months ago #79583
Hi! I have a question and I¡¯m hoping someone here can help me out. I want to create a bur oak bonsai, but I¡¯ve had no luck with acorns. I haven¡¯t been able to find any pre-bonsai in this species. So I¡¯m considering buying a sapling of about two feet (I can¡¯t find anything smaller) and working with that. My question is: Can I gradually prune it down in height so it keeps widening out and thickening but eventually is only around one and a half feet? Or would this sapling be too tall already?

Thanks ahead of time for your insights!
