bonsai trees?

I need a kind of tree that does well indoors, is fairly easy to grow, and does well in southern missouri (zone 6?), i heard about a "mt. fuji tree of a thousand stars" or somthing like that and was wondering if that was a good one, or maybe a kingsville boxwood?
it would be nice if the tree was under 3 feet. but any help or advice would be really great.

Hi, I have been growing little trees for years now. I find the Ficus Benjamina grows great indoors. It needs some sun and dose not need winter temperature changes like allot of other trees. You can pickup a ficus relatively cheap almost anywhere they sell plants. I have seen some at Walmart for under 10$. I live in CA and have plenty of indoor sun and keep indoor temps between 65 and 70. The plants grow great and fast. If you keep it trimmed it wont get over 3 foot.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have found a couple of species / types work for me - mainly depending on 3 factors. 1) will it ALWAYS be inside 2) is the area you want to show the tree in full sun or semi-shaded 3) do you have the time to spend a bit extra on care of the tree.
I like the Bougainvillea - it can develop really interesting contours and is fairly quick to mature - likes full sun (indoors or outdoors)
Another is the Fuchsia - pretty flowers as well - likes sun in and outddors.
One of my favourites is of the Ficus family - very interesting growths and contours - likes semi-shaded indoors and outdoors.

I hope this helps - I am busy building an information site around questions people have specifically about Bonsai. Still very much work in progress, but have a look and bookmark for future.
