Exotic Bonsai Choices To Enhance Your Collection
The majority of bonsai gardeners are content with the more common deciduous, confierous, or fruit trees when developing their bonsai tree collection. But, more exotic bonsai varieties can be found that permit the bonsai gardener to expand his or her skills.
One superb alternative to the classical bonsai is Wisteria, a native of China, Korea and Japan. In the wild, Wisteria can reach 30 feet or more in size. However, since Wisteria doesn't conform to any of the normal bonsai styles, forming them into a bonsai can be an interesting challenge.
The Wisteria flowers are both beautiful and aromatic and come in a variety of colors, including pink, purple, blue, and white. Blossoming in the Spring, they need lots of water with sufficient drainage and they do well in partial shade to full sun. Just before they flower in the spring, you should provide them with ample fertilizer, and once again in late summer before they shed their leaves.
Orange Jasmine is another option that will provide both beauty to the eye and delight to the nose. Their fragrant, white blossoms are accompanied by bright red fruit.
Starting in early spring and continuing through mid-autumn, feed Orange Jasmine every three to four weeks. Except in the hotter summer months when slightly more water is needed, only light watering is adequate for the rest of the year.
Orange Jasmine is one of the few bonsai that can be and probably should be grown indoors since it does better in moderate shade and filtered sun light.
The Mimosa tree, also occasionally known as silk trees due to their long silky filaments, offer another good choice. They are as fragrant as both of the two choices mentioned above and their puffy flowers and lacy foliage are also just as lovely.
The Mimosa blooms in late April to early July, during which time they should be provided moderate water. Avoid watering the flowers themselves since, like many flowering plants, they wilt rapidly and deteriorate when wet.
The Mimosa will be one of the larger bonsai in your collection. They grow rapidly, have large leaves and are very difficult to sustain at a very small size. So give them lots of room on the display bench.
An additional exotic bonsai is the Desert Rose which can turn an ordinary bonsai collection into an exciting full color display. The Desert Rose is a native of East Africa where it grows up to 10 feet tall and produces large, pink, trumpet-bowl flowers.
The Desert Rose should be kept outdoors most of the year as they need ample sunshine and lots of fresh air. With their very bushy growing habit, they will make a great design complement to the many traditional bonsai in your collection.
Since they are sensitive to cold, they need to be moved indoors during periods of cold weather below 50F (10C). They will lie dormant but healthy when temperatures are in the range of 50F-60F (10C-15C) and will need very little water during this period.
You can expand your bonsai design horizons by trying your hand at a few of these fragrant and beautiful flowering plants. Spaced among some of the standard evergreens - pines, junipers and others - they provide a nice contrast. You'll also have a constantly changing display, as they blossom in spring and lose their leaves in the fall.
