Bonsai is an Art

What is Bonsai
Bonsai means "tray planting" or "pot planting" and it is the small pots in combination with horticultural and silvicultural practices involving the selective removal of certain parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots to encourage healthy growth and flowering as well as good looks that keep the bonsais looking like miniature for of mature trees.
Bonsai has been originated Centuries ago in China. Primarily it was connected with Buddhist monks and their monasteries, associated with Zen Buddhism. The art of bonsai is normally attributed to the Japanese and has been practiced for many centuries . However, it was actually derived from the centuries old traditional art of Penjing ( penzai, tray landscape, potted scenery, potted landscape, or miniature trees ) practiced by Chinese noble families. Japanese Buddhist Monks believe that the center of the Bonsai pot is the union of heaven & earth.


Bonsai trees are not just indoor plants
Bonsai trees are like their larger counterparts and should be exposed to all the seasons that the regular sized tree would normally undergo. they are  exactly same as the full-sized trees, not dwarf or hybrid varieties. There are many different styles of bonsai and different countries have their own unique variation. General approach is to achieve the desired shape, thin metal wires are used to bend and guide the trunk and branches. Virtually any tree can be used as a bonsai tree, but some species deal with the constraining condition better than others. One of the oldest bonsai trees is a Japanese White Pine which has been around since 1625. It even survived the Hiroshima bombing. Individual bonsai trees can be hundreds of years old and aren’t always so small. Some can be over 6 feet tall. Even without leaves, bonsais can still be interesting. It allows you to see how they are pruned to achieve the desired shape.
