But if you have never cared for a bonsai you probably should start out with an easy bonsai tree! And there are a few choices that you can make but I will recommend one specific type of tree for you: The Juniper tree. It is very hardy, very resistant, and very easy to take care of. It is a great way to start out in bonsai.
 
Bonsai Boy's Juniper Bonsai Tree
Juniper Procumbens "nana". This dwarf Juniper bonsai tree from Japan is the most popular evergreen in the U.S. When we think of a traditional bonsai tree and what it should look like, we think of a "Juniper Procumbens Nana." It is very hardy, long-lived, and tolerates many adverse conditions. This is an excellent tree for the beginner. This tree is grown with care at Bonsai Boy of New York Nurseries. Watch out for imitations.

Shimpaku Juniper Bonsai Tree I | Nursery Direct from Joebonsai
Shimpaku Junipers are great outdoor Bonsai trees. They're very easy to care for and very popular. Shimpakus are evergreens with soft foliage that can tolerate virtually any soil or conditions - a great choice for beginners. Many believe Shimpaku Junipers make the finest Bonsai because their unusual ropey foliage, with its dark color and rich texture, is distinctive and attractive year round. This outdoor Bonsai does best in full sun and can withstand chilly winter conditions. These trees' trunks have a gorgeous swaying shape that supports a full, lush canopy of foliage. They look like a Bonsai should: a miniature version of an age-old tree. These 12 year-old Bonsai trees stand 20-22 inches tall and come planted in a traditional ceramic Bonsai pot (shapes and colors may vary). This Bonsai has the classic shape of an age-old tree and, although it grows slowly, and looks great now, it will continue to develop for years to come. Like all joebonsai trees, satisfaction is guaranteed and help is always just an email away.

Japanese Juniper (Juniperus Procumbens Nana) The Japanese Juniper is the most popular tree for Bonsai because of its compact foliage and ability to train branches into popular shapes. The Japanese Juniper produces tiny brown pine cones once a year and also green berries upon maturity. Requiring good indirect sunlight and moist watering conditions, the Japanese Juniper Bonsai is best suited for patios or outdoor areas. The Japanese Juniper is cold-hardy and can withstand temperatures below freezing.
