Hello ,,,, I live on a big farm in southeast Georgia and have a small 10 acre field in the back of my house where we have a small tree farm. Drake Elm, River birch, Crape myrtle, Live oaks to name a few... My plans this spring is to plant some trees to grow out for Bonsai.
What i would like to know from all of my Bonsai friends is , If you had to pick your top five outdoor Bonsai that could be grown in zone 8/9, What would they be ? Mine would be ... Trident maple, Chinese elm, River birch, Japanese maple and Black pine .... Thanks Greg
Top five Bonsai
Trident maple, Jap. black pine, Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku', Korean hornbeam, azalea.
I really like Styrax japonica (Jap. snowbell) too.
