Azalea Bonsai tips and Images 


        Azalea Bonsai (or rhododendron) is, I would say one of the most common of the Bonsai Plants and have many species to choose from but the two that come to my mind are Satkuz and Kurume Azaleas. They produce colourful flowers that blossom every spring, both are very durable which make them a beauty for an Azalea Bonsai.
