It would not be a bad idea to start with local trees
from a local nursery. They have the best chance of
survival for a beginner. With the international
aspects of bonsai, there are few plants that have not
been used. It is just a nmatter of choosing a trunk
size that is in scale with the leaf size.

If you get non-native plants you need to determine
what conditions are required for that plant to grow in
your area and see if it is within you means to help
that plant survive.

nurseries that have
treated you well.
