New to the board and to the hobby. I live in Minnesota where the summers can get hot and sunny and the winters can be brutally cold. What species are best for outdoor bonsai in this region? I'm willing to hunt for cuttings of trees that are native to this area, or dig up saplings to start. Do 名媛直播 hobbyists take their trees in if it gets too cold? My question is: what are the heartiest, most resilient species that can survive the winters and can be kept as outdoors 名媛直播? Thanks for any input.

Off the top of my head I would recommend pines. They are very hardy trees and in my opinion some of the most beautiful. My knowledge is quite limited compared to some of the folks on here though.

native species would hold up the best,but junipers make good beginer material and can handle heat and extreme cold. you will need a place to keep trees out of the wind. i burry my pots in the ground and cover them in snow (if there is any) and shelter them with plywood walls.they can also be put into a unheated garage or shed. deciduous trees do not need light once the leaves fall ,but conifers do over winter
