These techniques include heavy crown pruning, and root confinement in shallow containers. Almost any perennial and tree-lined tree or bush that produces true branches can be trained as a bonsai tree. However, some species are better suited to grow as bonsai than others. Some species are more popular due to aesthetic reasons (such as having small foliage or grubby-looking bark), while others are popular because they are notorious for being low maintenance and resilient when cultivated as bonsai trees. Here are nine varieties of popular trees that make good bonsai specimens. TipAbout any variety of cultivated trees like a bonsai will grow better in a special blend of pottery that is usually marketed as a mixture of bonsai soil. This mixture is not really a soil at all, but a mixture of hard Japanese akadama (a clay ore), pumice, and black lava, sometimes with some included horticultural additives. Loren Klein / Getty Images Juniperus is a great genre of more than 50 coniferous trees and evergreen bushes that are popular as bonsai trees. All species of juniper can be successfully cultivated as bonsai. Junipers are popular as bonsai for two main reasons. First, the small foliage fits well with the miniature aesthetic of bonsai; and second, the junipers are hard trees that can withstand the aggressive pruning. Juniper bonsai trees do not do well when cultivated indoors, and it is essential that they be planted in a dry soil. 3000ad / Getty Images The pines are popular as bonsai because they are resistant and internable. In fact, pines can be formed in almost all known bonsai styles. The pines are characterized by needles that appear in packs of two to five, and the bark that becomes squamous or agitated as it ages. Species that are particularly good for bonsai include Pinus thunbergii (Japanese black dog), P. mugo (mountain ridge), P. sylvestris (cloth ting), and P. parviflora (Japanese white dog). Aleroy4 / Images Getty Japanese maple trees are deciduous hardwood trees famous for the red-bourgeois or green leaves that spin bright red, orange, or yellow in autumn. The bark of the young Japanese arches is typically green or red, turning grey or gray-brown as it ages. A warning to the bonsai enthusiasts who don't have much time to devote themselves to crafts: Japanese harps require a lot of water, especially during the growing season. Depending on the temperature, they may require daily irrigation, possibly even several times a day. Carlo A / Getty Images Cherry trees are traditionally believed to mean friendship, and varieties such as the cherry tree also make beautiful bonsai trees. These ornamental and decidue trees are not only precious, but are easy to train because their branches and trunks are flexible and easy to form. While bonsai cherry trees can be cultivated indoors, they can suffer from lack of light and grow better when grown outdoors in the summer months. / Flickr / The vertiginous bark of cedar has made them a popular choice among bonsai enthusiasts. Cedar trees are perennial confers that grow short needle clusters throughout their branches, providing an opportunity for very dramatic bonsai styles. Impressive drama apart, cedars are not ideal for beginners. They require specialized care and experience to grow properly as bonsai and are the best suited for experienced growers. There are four species of cedar frequently cultivated as bonsai: cedar from Lebanon (Cedrus libania), cedar from Cyprus (Cedrus brevifolia), Himalayan cedar (Cedrus deodara), and Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica). Ginseng Ficus (Ficus retusa) Bulgnn / Getty Images Ginseng ficus is considered an excellent species for beginner bonsai enthusiasts because it is a very hard and forgiving tree. These broad leaf green trees are characterized by unique aerial roots and dark green leaves in oval shape. Ginseng ficus makes a low maintenance bonsai tree, and does not require as much light as other popular bonsai varieties. It grows well in interiors as one as it thrives in warm climates and bright and indirect light. Fig de lloro (Ficus benjamina) Photohomepage / Getty Imges The beautiful and parasol of the weeping fig tree makes it a popular choice for the bonsai. Its twisted surface roots are another feature that lends well to the bonsai style. In addition to its appearance, Ficus benjamina is a resistant and resistant tree that makes it perfect for bonsai training. It adapts well to the cultivation of interiors and is often cultivated as a house plant throughout the year. Jade dwarf (Portulacaria afra) / Pictures Getty The Jade dwarf plant is a semi-green soft wood bush that makes an excellent bonsai tree for beginners. The dwarf jades seem very similar to the most common variety (Crassula ovata), however, the smallest foliage of the dwarf jade makes it the preferred choice for bonsai cultivation. Jade jade trees grow well indoors but need direct sunlight for most of the day. They can also be successfully cultivated outside but cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. SharonCobo / Images Getty The thick and bold bark and the eye-catching flowers of the fruit pomegranate have made it a popular type of bonsai tree. It is naturally grumpy, old look is perfect for the bonsai aesthetics. The bonsai granates can be grown outdoors all year round in warm or indoor-grown climates for part of the year. They must be protected against freezing and freezing temperatures.
