These Japanese maples for bonsai were selected because they are exceptional for being trained as bonsai. None of the maples below are bonsai already nor must be used only for bonsai. These trees simply lend themselves well to bonsai culture.

Nearly any Japanese maple tree can be trained for bonsai. Because of their slow growth habit and their non-invasive root system, Japanese maples make an ideal plant to turn into a bonsai. When using a Japanese maple for bonsai, certain aspects of the bonsai should be considered. What picture are you trying to create with your bonsai Japanese maple? Bonsai is an art. One should have an idea of what their bonsai should look like before they start training their Japanese maple. By selecting a Japanese maple with characteristics that can improve and add to your desired outcome you can create a beautiful bonsai Japanese maple. Remember that bonsai Japanese maples are a living art. You must continue to train a bonsai as your art evolves into a masterpiece.

*Please Note - All Japanese Maples are Grafted Unless Listed as Rooted Cutting or By Seedling
