Give a Bonsai Tree this Father’s Day

If you are looking for a unique Father’s Day gift this year, why not consider a Bonsai tree.  This unique gift is perfect for Dad; it lasts for years, is a great conversation piece for the office or home and is more affordable and easier to maintain than you think.

Some great beginner bonsai trees are:

• Juniper Bonsai – this outdoor bonsai comes in a variety of shapes and is a great beginner bonsai.
• Ficus Bonsai – this indoor Bonsai requires good light, but little care or pruning.
• Chinese Elm – this is another great choice for beginners; it is easy to prune and will maintain its size if kept indoors. Outdoors this tree will grow but will need continued trimming.
• Dwarf Scheffler – this tree native of Taiwan is another beginner indoor Bonsai tree.
• Jade Bonsai – this classic Bonsai from Africa is easy for the beginner. This indoor Bonsai needs a lot of light and likes to be dry and pruned often.

Bonsais are a great gift for Dad, include a book with his tree and he will enjoy it for years to come.  Bonsais and bonsai accessories can be found online on amazon.com or bonsaioutlet.com and there are a few places to find them locally near your Encino apartment:

Yamaguchi Bonsai Nursery (LA)

Kimura Bonsai Nursery (Northridge)

Fuji Nursery (Sylmar)

This unique gift is a great way to show Dad you care.
