Colorado Bonsai – Hydrangea Bonsai – Colorado Rocky Mountain Bonsai

I have made a new page on this website for Hydrangea Bonsai. Come follow along with my quest to use Hydrangea for Bonsai.

Historically Hydrangea are not commonly used for Bonsai because it is thought that the leaves are to difficult to reduce in size. I do think it would be possible to do if you had a really large trunk Hydrangea where the leaf size would be more in scale with the tree.

Climbing Hydrangea anomala petiolaris is an exception to the rule in my opinion. I first saw a Climbing Hydrangea at one of the local Bonsai nurseries in our are and it was rather small and had small roundish leaves on it. It also had peeling shaggy bark which looked kind of cool to me.
