Please review my Bonsai Myths page first. I've listed many of the common ones, but I know there are many more.

Growing bonsai trees is a mystery to many people, confusion abounds. In addition, there are thoughts and techniques that one person may swear by and another claims to prove invalid.

New to bonsai? Have you discovered anything you thought to be true, only to find it was not? I know when I first got started in bonsai, there were loads of untruths floating around.

If you're a bonsai teacher, you must have a story or two from students. Things they believed to be true, only to be crushed by the truth.

As the tales arrive, you will have an opportunity to review, rate and debate them!
