I can't believe the previous 3 answers. Your question indicates you know that "bonsai" is a design, and not a species of tree. That's a very good start. You are in a very good region of the country for growing OUTDOOR bonsai, you're slightly colder than we are in Van Buren AR. However, since you are wanting to grown INDOOR bonsai, you have NO restrictions on tropical tree species. Take a look at the indoor bonsai on my website: http://www.american-bonsai.com , and you'll see a variety of tree species that are fine. By the way, don't try to grow an outdoor tree indoors, they will not live over 6 months.....they need a cold winter for dormancy.......Japanese maples are OUTDOOR trees.<br><b>References : </b><br> WOW!

Wow, I can't believe that someone as educated as answerer number 4 claims to be doesn't know that Japanese Maple can be bonsai. I think everyone knows that bonsai is a style of growing plants and not a particular species of plant.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.bonsaidirect.co.uk/Web/ProductList.aspx?page=3&category=5 I think a Japanese Maple works very well, but you may have problems finding one small enough without starting it from seed.
