About the Bonsai
Bonsai is the Japanese art of growing a full-sized tree in miniature, kept small in a shallow pot and carefully shaped over many years. It is not a special kind of tree but an ordinary one trained by trimming and pruning to stay tiny. The practice has been refined in Japan for over a thousand years, and similar arts grew up in China and Korea too. Guide your way through this bonsai maze, a quiet fit for a Japan-themed or nature-art lesson.
- A bonsai is a normal tree kept tiny by pruning, not a dwarf species.
- China's penjing and Korea's bunjae are related miniature-tree arts.
