Best Flowering Bonsai Trees
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Flowering bonsai trades some year round tidiness for a short, spectacular season. The bloom itself is only part of the picture. What varies is when flowers appear relative to the leaves, whether the species sets buds on old or new wood, and how much pruning timing affects next year's display. Prune at the wrong moment and you remove the flower buds. Many flowering species also want more feeding and water than foliage trees. We weighed bloom reliability against how well the tree reads as a tree for the rest of the year. Azalea suits growers with soft water and a shaded summer spot. Flowering quince suits cold climates and rewards minimal fuss. Wisteria suits anyone with room for vigorous growth and a heavy feeding schedule. Most flowering species are outdoor trees that need winter chill to set buds, so plan for a balcony or garden.
