Hi, Everyone. I have not posted here before but have found bonsainut to be a huge resource and I really appreciate all of the knowledge you guys provide.
I fell down the bonsai rabbit hole about a year ago and have been trying to soak up as much information and acquire a few trees since. I started with a jade and now also have a couple Japanese maples, a JBP, a trident maple, an azalea, a hinoki, and a ponderosa. I’m relatively young and do not have a ton of money to invest, but I have been trying to take Walter Pall’s line and start with the best material that I can.
I have been limited in what I can do because I have been living in an apartment building. However, I live in a corner unit which has two large balconies that get different amounts of sunlight and I have been able to make it work. I was a little nervous overwintering them on the balcony last winter but I mulched them in large bins and they pulled through with no dieback.
Luckily I will be moving next month and will have a large yard which will be much more ideal for the trees.
I am attaching photos, please comment/critique/or suggest anything that comes to mind. That is one of the frustrating but most enjoyable and rewarding things about bonsai, is that I always know there is so much more that I do not know.
Thanks!

. Agree with great beginner collection. Love Ponderosa(?)cascade AND pot. Beware of anybody(know it alls)here that tells you have to do this or that. Ponderosa need and most pines generally need or do well in full sun but nobody does well with hot feet
. Beware heat reflecting walls in hot weather at new home. Walter Pall is good teacher and good one to learn from. If not already check out Ryan Neils videos and web site. Best of fortune in Bonsai
