Hi Katie.

Here is a short-ish list off the top of my head:

These are trees that I have personally seen growing as bonsai- some are
easier than others, some are suitable for indoor growth, some are good from
seed, some are very good as collected specimens.

I have an example of South Afrian Puzzle Bush (Ehretia rigida) which I bought as a
rooted cutting on eBay three years ago. It now has a trunk 1/2 inch in diameter.
It grows quickly, so I am hoping it will double in thickness this summer as it did
last year. I'm not sure yet how it will respond as a bonsai (I have it in a large
pan to encourage free growth) because the branches go every which way, hence the
name. However, I'm willing to try. It's a very resilient plant and fun to watch
grow.
