Question
can bonsai trees lose their leaves

Answer
Hi Jacqueline,

Yes. A bonsai can definitely lose leaves, especially during the winter months. Do you know what type of tree you have? This is very important for the health and care of your tree. A bonsai tree can also lose leaves if it's not getting enough light, water, and nutrients. Take a look at http://www.learning2bonsai.com for bonsai tree care sheets.

Hope this helps.
