# What’s a good leafy, flowering tree i can start and have survive in…

_Posted by OJ on 2026-06-10_

What’s a good leafy, flowering tree i can start and have survive in SF East Bay area (apparently like Mediterranean weather: hot dry summer, cool wet winter)?  
I’m very much a beginner, i have one bonsai, a weeping fig, that I’ve managed to keep alive for over a decade. I just finished training it into…something.  
Any advice on what a beginner might get for themself in these conditions? I’ve grown quite fond of succulents.  
Thanks  
Cheers
