If you already know what a bonsai tree is, then I'm sure you've always wanted one. Why? Because a bonsai tree is a miniature tree that you can keep inside, but looks like it's fully grown. You can't get much more awesome than that. But aside from my personal opinion of them, let's talk a little bit about what a bonsai tree is.
A bonsai is created beginning with a specimen of source material. This may be a cutting, seedling, or small tree of a species suitable for bonsai development. Bonsai can be created from nearly any perennial woody-stemmed tree or shrub species that produces true branches and can be cultivated to remain small through pot confinement with crown and root pruning. Some species are popular as bonsai material because they have characteristics, such as small leaves or needles, that make them appropriate for the compact visual scope of bonsai.
The source specimen is shaped to be relatively small and to meet the aesthetic standards of bonsai. When the candidate bonsai nears its planned final size it is planted in a display pot, usually one designed for bonsai display in one of a few accepted shapes and proportions. From that point forward, its growth is restricted by the pot environment. Throughout the year, the bonsai is shaped to limit growth, redistribute foliar vigour to areas requiring further development, and meet the artist's detailed design.
There are various types of Bonsai tree styles that have been created by these same Bonsai artists. These Bonsai styles are developed through the processes mentioned earlier, such as wiring. Before we can understand how these styles come to be, lets discuss what wiring a Bonsai tree is. When a Bosai artist wires a Bonsai tree, they are literally implementing thin metal wires into the tree, and directing these wires in the direction that they want the branches, or trunk of the tree to grow.
Other works in Japanese and English had been published by this time, and afterward a tremendous number of books saw print. Translations and original volumes in over two dozen languages were published over the following decades. Once Japanese was no longer the sole language of bonsai, the number of clubs outside of Asia increased and interaction increased between members of all levels of experience.
