What is Bonsai?
The term "bonsai", pronounced "bone-sigh," is derived from the Japanese term "bon" meaning "tray" and "sai" meaning "tree". Thus, it's literal translation means "tree in a tray". To the experienced eye bonsai represents the artistic use of gardening techniquest to develop a tree into a miniaturized version of it's counterpart in nature. Bonsai is not a specific type of tree. There are no bonsai trees, only trees that have gone through the process of bonsai. In practice bonsai is the art of selecting a plant which has the potential of becoming a dwarfed replica of it's full-grown counterpart in nature. In bonsai, we strive to dwarf such trees by combining the latest scientific techniques which the ancient techniques developed by the Chinese and Japanese.
