Chinese Quince (木瓜)
Tree hight 18cm, 28 years old
I bought this tree from a bonsai shop 6 years ago.
Bonsai require patience, awareance, consideration and creativity.
Never get good resut from works without intention and imagination for future shape of tree.
An saying, "Just a second to cut branch, but at least a year to get a branch" is well-known.
Azalea
Tree hight 24cm, 5 years old
I obtained this Azalea tree a bonsai farm last winter.
I plan to reduce its hight and change pot when transplantting this spring.

Zelkova (榉树)
Tree hight 17cm, 25 years old
I visited Kyoto Japan for attending Japanese minibonsai exhibition 4 years ago and
I got this Zelkova in bonsai market opened in the exhibition.
Zelkova is a deciduous tree well suited for most bonsai techniques and it is by far the best tree for bonsai. Its fine branch charm is extremely attractive, especially in the winter when the branches are bare of leaves.

During the growing season, it is important to pinch new shoots and trim the leaves to enhance
the style of the tree. If it doesn't pinch and trim in time and let new branch grow fully, it will lose fine charm/ growing balance and it will be ruined very quickly.
Zelkova requires a great deal of subtle precision to achieve good results.

Juniper
Tree hight 16cm, 25 years old
I got this Juniper from a bonsai shop 6 years ago.
Juniper bonsai are among the most popular of all bonsai plants. In addition to maple, elm,
and pine, junipers are one of the most frequently used for bonsai. In their natural state they can be found throughout the world. Junipers are hardy, evergreen conifers that have long, trailing branches suitable for developing into excellent specimens using a variety of styles, and they can tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.
Junipers generally live long lives, so if you take good care of your juniper bonsai tree you will be rewarded as the plant continues to grow more beautiful as it matures with the passing years

Gardenia (梔子)
Tree hight 18cm, 27 years old
6 years ago I got this tree from a bonsai shop who import/sell Japaneses bonsai trees.
Gardenia is a evergreen tree and prized for the strong sweet scent of their flowers.
The fruits is used as a yellow dye(crocin), which is used for clothes and food.
Gardenias have a reputation for being difficult to grow. Because they originated in warm humid tropical areas, they demand high humidity to thrive and weak in cold weather. They flourish in
acidic soils with good drainage. Potting soils developed especially for gardenias are available.
