evergreen bonsai trees
If you enjoy indoor bonsai then its only natural that you grow evergreen bonsai trees in your garden or out on the patio. They make wonderful small ornamental trees for the front deck or a covered patio that gets a few hours of sunlight. The tree pictured here is a holly bonsai.
The most popular ornamental evergreen bonsai trees are the pine bonsai and juniper bonsai trees. The tree that most people are familiar with is the karate kid tree.

These trees are very nice for growing on your patio and can be brought in your home for short periods of time. Varieties include blue moss cypress, white cedar bonsai tree, blue spruce, Japanese black pine, red heather, boxwood, flowering andromeda tree and the pyracantha azalea. All of these evergreen bonsai are ideal for a patio, front entrance-way of your home or office and small ornamental garden areas.
