Outdoor Bonsai

The majority of these trees should be kept outdoors and only brought indoors for short periods of time. Keep in a sheltered position away from strong winds, hard frost and strong sun. Many, like the maples are deciduous, dropping their leaves in winter, and need the change of seasons to grow according to their nature. Others like the pines and junipers are evergreen throughout the year, and need good light and cool temperatures to thrive.
