The Most Popular Types Of Bonsai Trees
from:The art of bonsai is a time honored tradition that has only become popular here in the Western world within the last hundred years, or so. Once reserved for the elite upper class and royalty of the Eastern nations, now the art of bonsai is so wide spread that anyone with the time and patience to cultivate one of these little trees can enjoy the pleasure of the art form. There are a great many different types of bonsai trees available, ranging from evergreen to deciduous, flowering and fruit bearing.
The type of tree you choose should depend largely upon how much experience you have, as there are many types of bonsai trees that simply aren't suitable for beginners. In this article, we will cover the more popular types of bonsai trees, in an effort to help you choose the right tree for you and your new hobby.
Trees For Beginners
The most popular types of bonsai trees for beginners are the boxwood trees. These small evergreen shrubs are perfect for beginners as they don't require as much pruning and watering. These types of bonsai trees are rather slow growing, so it isn't necessary to prune them every day, as it is with other trees. Beginners may also do well with miniature fruit bearing bonsai trees for the same reasons. These types of bonsai trees don't require quite as much pruning as other trees do, and also allow you to have fresh fruit right in your home. Very popular!
Trees For The Experienced Bonsai Grower
As anyone who's actually had some experience with the many different types of bonsai trees can tell you, the care of some trees is so time consuming that only the most patient person should even bother. One of the best types of bonsai trees for people with that kind of patience is the Trident Maple. These lovely trees are probably the most highly coveted types of bonsai trees, due to their lovely foliage and shape, and the fact that the leaves turn beautiful colors in the fall.
The Trident Maple does require almost daily pruning, however, in order for it to keep its shape. As these types of bonsai trees are deciduous, they also require extra care when watering and feeding; as well as making certain that you give them a proper dormant period in the winter months.
There are so many different types of bonsai trees available for you to choose from that it would be almost impossible for to not find one that would suit your taste and your experience level.
