does anybody here have any bonsai trees. or is anyone interested in them. I have a great one, one thats very rare simular to the one shown in the image below.
Its worth around $2000, i am looking to buy some different ones. Does anyone know any other rare types for which i should look out for. They look freakin sweet, but I could never justify spending that much on a plant. Now on a guitar maybe...

That require a lot of hard work to keep them aswell.my sister got me one of these trees for christmas, i still haven't planted it because im afraid it'll die as i don't get much light in my cave...errr room

Naw i totally get and respect that. They are really awesome looking. How big do they usually tend to end up growingn to being? Do the leaves come in different colors? I dont know much about them.hmm... i wonder... wat so fascinating about bonsai plant..?
I have always wanted one but they are so expense and my green thumb is more like yellow and black for bio-hazard.

they can actually grow quite big. There are quite a few colours, the main ones being green, red, yellow and purple and pink.
They are very hard to keep, if you have never growed one before then i suggest starting with one thats valued at about £50 rather than a rare one. They are all very high maintanence.
My one is quite rare, and was already 9 years old when i brought it. Ive had it for 2 years now, so mine is 11 years old.Sorry, I can't help, I don't know that much about them. Even though I enjoy the looking at them, my only experience with one ended up bad for the poor tree. 
My mother love bonsai trees its look great and a lot of time to develop the tree , well we have 3 bonsai now at our garden . bonsai is very expensive here but its beutiful when develop itand growing.

what makes them so difficult to care for though?I've always liked bonsai trees, been thinking for a while if i should get one for my uni room.
Where would be the best place to purchase one and what exactly do you need to d with them in shape?
bonsai trees are those small trees right?
i think my dad had one with purple leaves 
I wonder if you can cook 'em and eat 'em.
yes a small tress with branches and good to develop it.

the best place i think is from holland. They sell them cheaper than most places. Just do a google search for trees in holland.Hey I have a bonsai tree I got about a year ago. It nothing rare, since I don't really want to invest crazy money for a bonsai. I got mine for fifteen dollars, its a small Juniper I picked up from a guy with a truck and a bunch of bonsais parked near a freeway entrace, hahah!
Anyways here's a picture of it a few weeks after I got it: http://photo.nathanchan.frih.net/index.php?showimage=67
