Contrary to what you may know, a Bonsai is not just one particular tree. Any tree that can be grown in a miniature model of its original size can be a Bonsai. A Bonsai tree can be of miniature size, but it can still look just as old as the original life-sized one. So you have to understand that Bonsai is not a particular variety of trees but an age-old technique with which trees are grown. If you try to buy a Bonsai tree on the market, you will see that the price depends on the age of the tree. The maturity of a Bonsai tree will add to its value. If you want to grow a Bonsai yourself, there are different types of trees that you can select from and then practice the art of Bonsai to help in its growth.
Bonsai are basically trees in pots or containers. It requires a lot of patience to plant and grow these trees in containers. The foliage of the tree will have to be trained in order to get the kind of Bonsai shape you want. The roots have to be pruned for the miniature version, and the branches will need wiring. There are many different techniques that you will learn about using this book, and all of these will help you successfully grow and maintain a Bonsai tree. You have to realize that just putting a plant in a pot will not make it Bonsai.
