Hey everyone, I love nature everything about it, it has been a while since making a Bonsai post and when on Steemit and one of your favourite's are 
I recently visited a nursery around 10 kms from where I reside, they are renown for their incredibly pretty and popular Bonsai Tree's and here they are!
I find that one of the nicest tree's to Bonsai is a Ficus as below, thick trunk, dark rich green leaves and it allows you to shape it just how you wish. Saying that, I am busy in the process of germinating and making a few Bonsai Tree's myself one for my Child due in a week or less and two for my sister's (
I recently purchased some Boabab Seeds, as well as acquired some Cherry Tree seeds on our recent trip to Dullstroom, do check that post here: https://steemit.com/trees/@craigcryptoking/have-you-ever-eaten-a-cherry-straight-off-the-tree
Here we have a Buxus, now to be totally honest I have no clue what these are, other than gorgeous, as per wikipedia: They are slow-growing evergreen shrubs and small trees, growing to 2–12 m (rarely 15 m) tall. The leaves are opposite, rounded to lanceolate, and leathery; they are small in most species, typically 1.5–5 cm long and 0.3–2.5 cm broad, but up to 11 cm long and 5 cm broad in B. macrocarpa. The flowers are small and yellow-green, monoecious with both sexes present on a plant. The fruit is a small capsule 0.5–1.5 cm long (to 3 cm in B. macrocarpa), containing several small seeds.

Another gorgeous Tree that makes a very pretty Bonsai is the Wild olive as per wikipedia.org : This much-branched evergreen tree varies in size from 2 to 15 metres (7 to 50 ft) high. The leaves have an opposite, decussate arrangement, and are entire, 3 to 7 centimetres (1.2 to 2.8 in) long and 8 to 25 millimetres (0.3 to 1 in) wide; the apex is acute with a small hook or point, and the base is attenuate to cuneate. Leaf margins are entire and recurved, the upper surface is grey-green and glossy, and the lower surface has a dense covering of silvery, golden or brown scales. Domatia are absent; venation is obvious on the upper surface and obscure on the lower surface; the petiole is up to 10 millimetres (0.4 in) long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olea_europaea_subsp._cuspidata
Another very pretty Tree (Fire Thorn) and excellent 'candidate' for a Bonsai which in seasons gets incredibly pretty red berries as per wikipedia : Pyracantha ("from Greek pyr fire and akanthos a thorn" hence firethorn)[1] is a genus of large, thorny evergreen shrubs in the family Rosaceae, with common names firethorn or pyracantha. They are native to an area extending from Southwest Europe east to Southeast Asia. They resemble and are related to Cotoneaster, but have serrated leaf margins and numerous thorns (Cotoneaster is thornless).

The Chinese June And Chinese may more commonly known as the Chinese Tallow Tree Check out this interesting article and more detail of the elusive and not very common (In Africa Tree) Triadica sebifera (syn. Sapium sebiferum), the Chinese tallow,[1] Chinese tallowtree, Florida aspen, chicken tree, gray popcorn tree,[2] or candleberry tree,[3] is a tree native to eastern Asia. It is native to eastern China, and Taiwan, and introduced to Japan in Edo period. The waxy coating of the seeds is used for candle and soap making, and the leaves are used as herbal medicine to treat boils. The plant sap[4] and leaves are reputed to be toxic, and decaying leaves from the plant are toxic to other species of plants. The specific epithets sebifera and sebiferum mean "wax-bearing" and refer to the tallow that coats the seeds. Check that article here as per wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triadica_sebifera
Taking a few steps back and a general overview of all these Tree's for sale on display, gorgeous and very reasonably priced based on their age and work that goes into growing them to this maturity!
To end it off the last pic of the Wild Fig, these Tree's in their natural environment resemble a Boabab in stature and size and are truly gorgeous, check out some incredible pics of them in all their beauty here as per www.google.com :
All that been said, I have never grown my own Bonsai, I can only hope and wish that I get my Cherry and Boabab to look as amazing as these, I generally have quiet a skill with plants so I can assume mine will turn out nicely too!
I trust you have an amazing week and with Crypto's looking to go up really nicely finally, why not?
Cheer$;)
