Species Specific Information Center
Notes about the species entries: There are a thousand ways of doing any single thing, and of that, perhaps ten
correct ways, depending on your climate, bonsai knowledge and a host of other factors. I will do my best to include
as detailed information as I can on advanced techniques, but also the basics geared more toward the beginner. Some
entries will be more extensive than others, depending on the information available on the species and my own
experience with it.
Hardiness zones are based on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) hardiness zones. These indicate
the annual average minimum temperature that the healthy tree can tolerate normally growing in nature. Bonsai
trees, growing in shallow pots, have more vulnerable root systems and cannot necessarily tolerate that level of
temperature without winter protection. To find your hardiness zone follow the below links
