What plants are suitable for bonsai in the northern mountainous areas?

It is the most cold-resistant maple variety in China, with split leaves and ingot-shaped seeds, so it is also called Acer truncatum. Tiananmen Square was once used for greening and widely distributed in Northeast China, North China and Northwest China.

2. Rhamnus microphylla

It belongs to the same family as Bromus, similar in appearance, small deciduous shrub with prickly branches and small blue-black fruits. It is common in the northern mountainous areas and grows in the cracks between rocks. Trees are extremely cold-resistant, which can make up for the shortage of brome in the north.

3. Vitex negundo

The growth range is also very common, mostly clustered on sunny slopes, with lavender flowers in summer and palmate leaves with special smell. After years of chopping wood and rotting, it will form a grotesque rootstock board, which is a good material for dry peak bonsai and easy to cultivate.

4.medlar

Many old piles of Lycium barbarum grown in the wild for many years are intertwined and full of vitality, and most of them have strange roots. After simple treatment, bonsai is more ornamental. Every year, when the Lycium barbarum on the tree matures, the tree is covered with bright and lovely Lycium barbarum, which has strong ornamental value and the root system is vigorous and simple.

5.elm tree

Very common and familiar in all parts of the country. Although the commonly used elm varieties do not grow in the north, they can be used as bonsai with local varieties, and the effect is good. If the leaves are too big, they will naturally become smaller if the first leaves are removed.
