Indoors, trees often need a lot of light and supplemental humidity. Many of them also need a period of dormancy. If you have enough light, from that list you might be able to grow azalea or fuchsia indoors. Neither one really lends itself to "forests" though. If you had a huge amount of light (for an indoor location I mean) you could try growing olive, pomegranate and cotoneaster which are all semitropical or semi-deciduous.

Most everything else on that list is going to give you dormancy problems.

Regards,

Matt

Marshy:

I would not recommend growing anything on that list indoors. Ficus make good "indoor" trees, but even then most bonsaists grow the tropical trees outside when weather permits. I'll be taking mine outside as soon as the last frost danger has passed.
