Species

The bonsai species I'm most interested in are local species from Brittany and Western Europe, and classic species from Asia that are well suited to my climate.

I also enjoy some tropical trees inside the house in winter that I move to the greenhouse in summer in rotation with the Mediterranean trees that are outside in summer and in the greenhouse in winter.
