For formal bonsai, yes. I tend toward 'informal bonsai and training can be
done anytime it needs doing. This year I have a 5 yr. old ginkgo and a 4 yr.
old 18" beech that I need to put in smaller pots. These were started as
seedlings and I am excited about this major step happening because they are
the first seedlings I have attempted bonsai with.
