Question
I have been given a copper beech in a bonsai situation. Apparently it is about 25 years old, and is looks in pain to me.  I would like to liberate it. If I take it out of the pot and plant it in my garden with lots of compost and love, will it begin to grow properly?  My husband says there's no chance of that.  Is there anything I can do to give it another chance at life? (I realise some people like bonsai, but I find it rather disturbing.)  Many thanks.  Julie

Answer
Hi Julie,
Thanx for your question.  I am not an expert at Bonsai and I don't want to steer you wrong.  We have an expert on Allexperts to whom I am referring you.
Go to Home/Garden then click on Garden and then Click on Bonsai.  The Bonsai Outlet should be able to answer your question expertly.  I hope this helps.
