Depends on your climate, whether you have outdoor space for growing it or need it to stay inside. There are thousands of varieties of trees and shrubs that will make good bonsai, I personally have about 75, of which about a dozen are indoor tropicals. The nost common for beginners are probably ficus for indoors, juniper for outdoors.

In China, but it was the Japanese who perfected the art. Bonsai is an art which people have to get a tree and plant it the best they can possibly do.

Bonsai utilizes different training techniques to achieve desired styles. Typically bonsai trees are small compared to the tree it would represent in the wild, they usually rang from 6″-24″.

A bonsai tree makes a great gift. Depending on the type of bonsai you get - it is a gift that can last a lifetime!! What makes the bonsai a unique gift idea is that often the bonsai is sold by age - so you can match the age of the tree to celebrate various years of passing. For example you might get a 10 year old bonsai to celebrate 10 years on the job for a corporate gift or 5 year old bonsai to celebrate 5 years of cancer survival.
