Default What fruit trees are good for a bonsai?

I was going to grow a bonsai, but then I thought "What if instead of a normal tree, it's a fruit tree!?" What fruit trees make good bonsai?

Some of the more common choices include lemon, tangerine, apple, fig, peach, lime, and cherry.

The key when growing a bonsai fruit tree is that you want to choose the species of tree that will grow best in the part of the country where you live. Obviously, if you live in Montana, Vermont, or other cold states, then citrus trees such as lemon and lime will not do well. In addition, some types of apple and cherry trees do not grow fruit properly in some areas with mild winters simply because they require long periods of cold temperature. Therefore, when you get ready to choose a bonsai fruit tree, you can work with your local nursery, bonsai grower, or gardening center to choose accordingly.
