To jumpstart your bonsai horticultural hobby, you first need to select the right kind of bonsai tree that will yield to clipping, pruning and training of branches and roots and wiring to give rise to the shape and design of a plant species you had envisaged.
While selecting a bonsai tree you have to keep in mind various factors like climate, temperature, your lifestyle, care and maintenance, your choice and preference, congruity with the décor in your home etc.
There are indoor bonsai trees and out door bonsai trees. For the former category choices are a bit limited. If you lead a busy lifestyle and are strapped for time and you feel that you won't be able to devote much time or labor behind the care and maintenance of your bonsai, you should opt for low maintenance and hassle free bonsai tree that is hardy and requires minimal care.
Some people have a fascination for exotic bonsai tree species sourced from far off lands, which not only require optimum care, but also find it difficult to adapt to the foreign climate. Adaptability is a factor that you should always keep in mind while selecting a bonsai tree, because surely you don't want your bonsai species to perish after spending close to a fortune on its transit and care.
For e.g. Tropical trees will find it difficult to adapt in a Canadian or Norwegian or Russian winter. Most horticultural experts will recommend indigenous native plants which don't require acclimatization, adapt easily to surroundings, are hassle free and require little care. They are ideal for busy executives on the move.
What I am trying to hammer at is - don't just fall for fancy looks or the exotic appeal. It is a common mistake which costs people dear. Following is a list of bonsai tree that may be ideal for you. Choose whichever one you like.
