This article docments several, but not all Bonsai Tree that there are. Among them are some of my favorites. 1. Surinam Cherry is a hardy shrub known for its fruit Surinam Cherry, also known as Brazilian cherry, Cayenne cherry or Florida cherry, is a shrub that grows to a height of 25 ft. The shrub is known for its slender branches and aromatic foliage. The leaves change color as they age – from a bronze when they are young to a deep green when they are slightly old. During strong winters, the leaves turn red. 2. Japanese White Pine is dense and conical The Japanese White Pine has a dense and conical form when it is young. However, later it develops into a tree with a graceful, irregular shape, which is 25 to 50 feet tall. Its needles are between 1 and 2.5 inches long, and grow in groups of five, giving it the name of five-needle pine. The cones are between 1 and 4 inches long and are brownish-red. They last on the tree for 6 to 7 years. This tree belongs to the Pinaceae family. Japanese Wisteria is a hardy, ornamental vine The Japanese Wisteria is a popular ornamental vine that is tough and hardy and forms thickets in which little else can grow. It can climb trees and shrubs to a height of 20 meters. Often, it constricts the stems of trees and kills them by girdling. Its stout, white-barked stem is woody and grows up to 16 cm in diameter.

Ligustrum makes the best hedges Ligustrum is a small, evergreen shrub that is used for making hedges that are popularly known as privet hedges. It is native to Japan, Korea and China, though now it is common in the Southern and Western parts of the United States. It has white flowers in the summer and small blue-black berries in the fall, some of which have medicinal qualities. Mount Fuji Serissa needs careful handling Mount Fuji Serissa is a small shrub whose gnarled trunk and tiny leaves make it a popular bonsai. The shrub flowers twice or thrice a year and requires careful handling. The leaves fall off if there is too much or too little water; they also fall off if it is too hot or cold. There is a similar reaction if the plant is moved or if there is a change in light conditions. Again these are just a few of the many types of Bonsai trees that are available.
