Species Guide
Presented in the Species Guide is list of Tree Species that are suitable for Bonsai. The tree list is continuously growing and currently there are 40 or so species listed here. Trees are listed on these pages, by Scientific Name and its Common Name.

My experience with growing Bonsai has lead me believe that to be able to present a tree at its best, you need a rounded and holistic understanding of the species. In that respect the myBonsaiGuide goes beyond conventional Bonsai Species guides and includes detailed sections on Taxonomy, Propagation and Cultivation for each species, along with the standard Bonsai Care Section.

For the beginner, my suggestion is to, start at the Bonsai Care Section, it presents guidelines to care for your Bonsai.

This Bonsai Guide has been written and researched primarily from the perspective, of the UK and mainly for Zones 8 and 9 in the UK. You will need to make adjustment for your local areas.

A lot of my learning has been from bonsai and horticultural book, from magazines and perodicals, various websites and off-course good old practical experience. A list of resources will be comming soon.
