As you notice, I have only put the Latin scientific name, common name, Chinese name, and photos of each bonsai tree type listed.  There is a lot of information about the characteristics of these tree types available online. Hence, I won\u2019t write much about tree characteristics here, but will definitely write more on special care techniques for specific bonsai tree species later on.<\/p>\n<p>This list of bonsai tree species is by no means comprehensive. As said in an earlier article &#8211; <a title=\"Suitable Tree Types for Bonsai\" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/201001\/suitable-tree-types-bonsai-trees\/\">Suitable Tree Types for Bonsai<\/a>, almost all trees can be used as bonsai trees, and here has only listed some of the tree species that are often used in bonsai.  I would suggest you to first check out this list and find the tree species that you are interested in growing as a bonsai tree.  Then, do a google search to learn more about the tree characteristics such as suitable climate, common pest problems and such.  You can also find more about care techniques and skills of some particular bonsai tree type here in Happy Bonsai.<\/p>\n<p>Check here for more <a title=\"Tree Species Commonly Used for Bonsai (Part 2)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.happybonsai.com\/201001\/tree-species-common-bonsai-trees-2\/\">tree species commonly used for bonsai trees (Part 2)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\">Abies species (Fir) \u6749\u6a39<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a title=\"Bonsai Tree -
