@456 any recommendations for a starter bonsai? I have south west light in Canada that is pretty harsh (2-7pm), but I've got quite a few philodendrons living happily in shadier spots.

Depending on the variety Boxwoods can handle zone 4 winters. They also backbud readily making it easy to style them via cut and grow methods. Spruces would be a good native choice in your climate but they are difficult to train (wire) sometimes. cont..
