Everything you need to know to grow your own Bonsai Forrest!
Bonsai are miniature trees grown in pots. The aim of bonsai culture is to develop a tiny tree that has all the
elements of a large tree growing in a natural setting. This look is achieved, principally, by branch and root
pruning and shaping, but other factors are also important. The texture of the trunk, its look of age, the moss
and the under plantings in the container — all contribute to the illusion of a miniature tree as it is seen in
nature.
A presentable bonsai can be created in a few seasons. Cultivating these miniature potted trees is both an
intriguing hobby, and a means of adapting a wide range of plants to specialized and decorative uses. Bonsai
require daily watering during their growing season, and, because the plants are rooted in shallow pots,
careful pruning.
