FLOWERING BONSAI TOP 10

Bonsai trees in full bloom are a spectacular sight. In this article we have listed the 10 most beautiful flowering Bonsai trees.

In general flowering species are treated and styled using the same techniques as for other Bonsai tree species. But they need the right amount of sunlight, should not be pruned until after blooming and need low nitrogen fertilizer applied as well.

The best know example of flowering Bonsai trees is the Azalea, a very common tree species used in Bonsai. The flowers can be pink, red or even purple. The bougainvillea and the Wisteria are also stunning examples of flowering Bonsai. We show these below in the top 10, but we also have one for Bonsai fruit trees!
