I hope you are patient Capsid. I grew a bonsai horse chestnut years ago and it took 15 years for the leaves to dwarf and when I finally gave it away after 25 years it still hadn't put out proper side shoots!!!!!!

Don't think of it as a long, waiting game, rather as a journey that you take with the tree. Each year the tree changes a little more and your alongside it watching it develop and grow into some amazing and beautiful shapes and forms.
