if i had to choose one, it would probably be a Banyan

with a Sweet Gum Maple coming in second

Japanese Cherry tree. But I don't think they'd grow up here

Corymbia citriodora

What? An old satsuki azalea, imported from Japan (coz we ain't got any here) and why? Awesome nebari, amazing character trunk, small neat leaves, wirable, workable classy bonsai all year round plus once a year the most amazing multi coloured, highly variable flower show that completely covers the tree and will be slightly different again next year
