Hello everyone! I'm relatively new to bonsai, and have kept some relatively successfully before. But now I want to train one from a nursery and do it myself. However, I live in hot central Texas where the summers regularly get to 110 with the heat index. When I lived in Maryland growing Japanese maple trees or junipers might have been possible, but now I'm not so sure. Can someone help me decide which plants to look for when going to a nursery? I was thinking Chinese elm and Carmona (Fukien tea). What would these be like to grow in the heat here, and any others that are more suitable?

Welcome to the empire!
I would look for pines and junipers. Probably there are better species. Ask locally, e.g., at the gardening centre, which species do well in your climate.
As this is an international forum, it would be great if you could use international standard indication of temperature, celcius.

Since you are in the USA you can use arborday.org to determine which species are best for your region and you are on the edge of the species hardiness zone.

I've spent a lot of time in Spain (I live in Germany) this year, which, in some areas has a similar climate to Texas.. Pines do very well there. So I would second what leatherback said about pines and junipers. . I can also second the idea that local tree species do best as 名媛直播... of all the trees that I have.. the ones that grow here naturally are the easiest to care for.
110 Fahrenheit is 43 Celcius. What is the temperature spread in the summer? do you have cool or cold nights?

i live in mobile alabama and we have similar weather for the most part.
pines and junipers would do good. anything thats drought tolerant and likes sun.
find you a copy of 'the bonsai bible' by peter chan.
i grow alot of jap.black pines,azaleas,jap.maples,sweetgums,bald cypress,and of course junipers and there doing fine. and it gets hot here like it does there so.
go to you local nursery or hardware store and see what they have for sale and how good those look then go from there.
