Because of this, it is not uncommon to see these types of trees be passed down from generation to generation. If you own a Japanese maple bonsai tree, you will want to ensure that whomever will care for it next learns the proper care methods to ensure the lasting survival of the tree. Because of this, you can select the type of ficus bonsai that is suitable for you. It should be remembered that many fruits from ficus bonsai are not edible. While there are some species of ficus bonsai that can produce edible fruits, it is typically suggested against eating any fruit that might grow from your bonsai. As the trunks of the tree have a layered appearance from the aerial growth of roots, it is not uncommon that designers will use this characteristic of the plant as a fundamental part of the finished piece. The aerial root system, if properly controlled, can enhance the appearance of the bonsai without risk of spreading beyond the confines of its pot or causing root problems in the pot itself. It should be kept outdoors whenever possible, and only brought in during the harshest parts of winter or during snow storms that would suffocate the plant. Once the extremely bad weather has past, your juniper bonsai should be sent back outside so it can remain in dormancy. Juniper bonsai are extremely common, as this type of tree is so easy to care for and train. They require a dormancy period, where they are kept at colder temperatures and are permitted to rejuvenate. This process is vital for the survival of the plant. A juniper that is not permitted to go into dormancy will typically die within a few months. As more people are entering the bonsai hobby, there are more varieties of trees suitable for indoor growing coming into the market. As you become more adept at bonsai tree care, you will learn how to properly prune your plant, pot it in larger pots, and trim the roots so you have a proper sized root mass. You will learn how to wire your plant so the branches go to the form you want without leaving unsightly scars or damaging the visual aspects of your bonsai tree.
