Outdoor Bonsai Trees for Gardens, Patios, Decking & Balconies.

Outdoor Bonsai trees from Bonsai Direct include expertly grown trees such as the native English Oak bonsai (Quercus robur). Beech (Fagus sylvatica), Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and Japanese classics such as Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) and Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora). All of these varieties of trees have different meanings.

Hardy bonsai for the garden make superb additions to patios, decking or balconies. They add interest, colour and a true focal point.

We grow beautifully styled hardy deciduous or evergreen bonsai, with free delivery to most of the UK. All outdoor trees include a FREE copy of our bonsai care handbook which covers all aspects of bonsai care.
Also, you may choose the best delivery date at the checkout.
Pines and Junipers are the best evergreen bonsai; they enjoy being kept on the drier side and are particularly easy to care for.
Our native deciduous bonsai will thrive in gardens in the UK and Europe because they are in their natural environment. Japanese Maples display the most fabulous seasonal colours and prefer to be protected from strong winds. The reds, golds, oranges and green bring the garden to life.

Outdoor Bonsai For Sale – Deciduous and Evergreen Varieties

If you’ve noticed our outdoor bonsai stock fluctuates throughout the year, let us explain why. The world of outdoor bonsai trees is incredibly diverse, consisting of both deciduous bonsai and evergreen bonsai species. These variations are closely tied to seasonal changes, and understanding this will enhance your appreciation for these remarkable trees.

Seasonal Changes for Outdoor Bonsai

From late autumn to early spring, many deciduous bonsai enter dormancy, shedding their leaves for the winter months. While their bare branches showcase their intricate structure, we’ve found that most enthusiasts prefer seeing bonsai in full leaf. This preference limits our ability to photograph and list them during winter.

On the other hand, evergreen bonsai maintain their foliage year-round, offering consistent greenery for those seeking year-round beauty. However, the potting season for outdoor bonsai trees is precise. Unlike indoor bonsai, which can be potted year-round, outdoor bonsai must be potted while out of leaf but before winter’s harshest cold arrives. This window typically spans February and March.

The Excitement of Spring

Spring is when the magic happens. From April, new buds and leaves emerge, and by May, our full range of outdoor bonsai becomes available. During late spring and early summer, you’ll see an incredible expansion in our collection as both deciduous and evergreen bonsai trees flourish.

Preparing for Summer Splendour

As we approach spring, this is the perfect time to prepare your garden or patio for the arrival of your outdoor bonsai tree. Whether you’re drawn to the ever-changing beauty of deciduous bonsai or the year-round greenery of evergreen bonsai, this is the season to bring these living works of art into your outdoor spaces.

Our resident expert, Lloyd Noall, has always had a passion for bonsai trees and has nearly 40 years’ experience of growing them professionally. When he first started, he predominantly grew hardy outdoor bonsai with a particular passion for native varieties. He has gone on to widen his field and now grows both indoor and outdoor bonsai with help from his team at Bonsai Direct.

“I love the variation that outdoor bonsai offer. They are in their natural habitat and there is so much diversity from the evergreen pines (Pinus species) and junipers (Juniperus chinensis), which have needles, to the beauty of the prolific flowering species such as the Cherry Blossom (Prunus kojo no mai) & Crab Apple (Malus)”. We also grow young outdoor bonsai starter trees which represent great value for money. Our outdoor bonsai are strong and robust and will withstand more extreme weather.

“I have very much enjoyed growing hardy native species of outdoor bonsai such as the Silver Birch (Betula pendula) with it wonderful fluttering leaves and my all-time favourite the English Oak (Quercus robur)”. Both of these species are highly regarded hardy deciduous varieties which have grown in popularity alongside the Beech, Field Maple, Hornbeam and Chestnut. They are particularly easy to grow as they are in their natural habitat and are usually propagated from seed or cuttings.

“Japanese Maple or Acer outdoor bonsai trees are known for their vibrant foliage and graceful designs”. They have been cultivated in Japan for centuries, first appearing in traditional Japanese gardens. “They have become a staple in bonsai art due to their aesthetic appeal, versatility, diverse styling options and glorious seasonal variation”.

Their popularity in bonsai cultivation stems from their striking seasonal colour changes from bright greens, limes and scarlet in the spring and summer to fiery reds and oranges in autumn. They are a favoured choice among bonsai collectors worldwide.

It is fascinating to discover that, “one of the oldest bonsai trees in existence, boasting an impressive age of over 1000 years, is the hardy evergreen Chinese Juniper”. This remarkable outdoor bonsai tree specimen, originally collected from the wild, has found its home at the Mansei-en garden, nestled within the historic Omiya Bonsai Village in Japan. The tree stands as a testament to the enduring artistry and dedication of outdoor bonsai cultivation.
