Awesome man - my kids have just watched the old Karate Kid DVD's. They loved Miyagi's Bonsai trees - I've just bought them 6 small shrubbs to have a go with.

Your pronunciation is correct. Bonsai is pronounced BONE-SAI. If you pronounce it the other way, it means what a japanease warrior yells during a final stand in which they attempt to kill an enemy with a suicide charge.

I put it in the sun for a full day and close the outdoor blind during the night so it doesnt recieve the cold winds. But today i noticed at some of the tips it kind of looks like they are burnt off halfway and are have a black buildup if i pull them off they are almost like a black small clay substance. It kind of looks like something is eating it or maybe even cold damage.. Any help would be appreciated and a link to a decent bonsai forum for questions like this in future =]
