Review miniature trees - outdoor and indoor bonsai trees
Now here is a unique bonsai tree that is actually a small hazelnut tree.
I like this filbert bonsai tree because of the thick growth it produces in the spring and summer. Hazelnuts always remind me of christmas time so I have mine in the house around this special season as an extra ornament and decoration.

Every home should have a maple tree planted in the yard!
Well I agree to that only in principle, because as beautiful as maple trees are when the leaves change color, I don’t like raking leaves. My solution to this problem was to buy a maple bonsai tree and have it growing on my patio. I can pick up the leaves from my bonsai maple tree in about a minute and a half, “perfect”.
The first bonsai tree that I purchase was the Japanese green maple bonsai, it was around 25 years old and 24″x25″x30″ with 6 inch diameter trunk, just like the one offered for sale and pictured below. It is a deciduous bonsai that was grown by bonsai boy. It came in a rectangle pot. It will grow palmate leaves with red spring color. A slow grower with small leaves and a very nice form.

My next bonsai is also going to be a maple tree, except I am going to go all out and buy a older and bigger outdoor bonsai tree for my patio. My choice is going to be the monster maple tree which is a 40 year old bonsai. It has a 13 inch trunk and measures approximately 32″x26″40″.
Here is a picture, it has palmate green leaves with red fall color.

You can see it is much fuller than the other maple and looks like a mature tree. You may be thinking that you don’t like the outdoor varieties that loose their leaves in the winter. I thought that too so I display them along side my bonsai pine trees. In the winter months it is a very striking ornamental tree grouping. I have display my flowering bonsai inside my home because it is an indoor bonsai tree.
Many times you will see that a humidity tray is recommended many times, this is necessary for proper growth and care in dry climates and indoors where there is air conditioning.

This is a filbert tree but doesn’t produce any nuts. It is a very interesting tree that looks like a branch. It is also for a deciduous tree and needs to be kept outdoors. This tree has beautifully twisted weeping branches that are very striking when bare. In late winter to early spring, 2-3″ long, yellowish catkins appear, hanging like ornaments from the wiry skeleton. They are followed by wide, fuzzy, droopy leaves that turn yellow before they drop in the fall. In the spring, summer and early autumn, it has large crinkly leaves so dense it hides the exaggerated corkscrew appearance of the limbs.
