(which is pronounced Bone Sigh) used to be practiced by the elite of Japan and China and was reserved for the highly educated.Today there are as many types of bonsai as there are growers. If you have sufficient patience, you can grow your own tree from a seed, or buy an already maturing tree and tend and look after it. Many people think that a bonsai is a species of tree itself. It is not, any tree can be formed into a bonsai. It should just be a miniature form of an ordinary tree.After many years of pruning and trimming, the bonsai grower will be rewarded with a perfect miniature version of their favourite tree.For the spiritually minded, bonsai make an excellent focus for meditation and contemplation. Focusing on the best way to form the tree, what its final shape will be can be an uplifting experience for many.sellercore
