Books & Guides
Reference books for going deeper than our own care guide covers.
Live species that don't fill a category of their own. Zelkova is a traditional Japanese bonsai that grows into a natural broom shape; Chinese Privet (Ligustrum) is one of the easiest indoor-or-outdoor trees to keep, and droops visibly when it needs water; Podocarpus gives a pine-like look with easier care; Sageretia is a strong indoor alternative to ficus with small flowers; and the Dawn Redwood listing is a multi-trunk forest planting, more a display piece than a first tree. See our Japanese bonsai guide for more on Zelkova.
