What makes good bonsai tree material? * A twiggy structure ~ Lots of small
twigs give the bonsai artist maximum styling options.
* Tiny leaves ~ Give the appearance of a huge ancient tree in miniature.
*Interesting Roots ~ Roots are an important feature in bonsai trees. * Flowers ~ A highly sought after characteristic for any bonsai.
* Fall color ~ Bonsai enthusiasts enjoy watching their trees go through the seasonal changes and fall color
can be a spectacular display.
* Deciduous ~ A bonsai that looses all of it's leaves in the winter allows the inner structure to be fully
appreciated and enjoyed almost as though it were an entirely different tree.
Fruit ~ A feature of some of the most highly prized bonsai trees. Fruits start out green, then develop into
their mature size and finally ripen into a completely different color adding all the more splendor and seasonal change to
an already incredible bonsai tree.
