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.

European Filbert (corylus avellana) The European Filbert or Hazelnut is generally grown for its tasty nuts. In late winter to early spring, 2″-3″ long, yellowish catkins appear, dangling like ornaments from the branches. They are followed by broad, fuzzy, droopy leaves that turn yellow before they drop in the fall. In spring, summer and autumn it has leaves so dense it hides the limbs.

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.
