A Bonsai is a living work of art. It is not simply any old tree or plant growing in a pot. Its shape is achieved by the skillful manipulation and training of the trunk and branches so that it is a perfect miniature of a fully grown tree in nature. Unlike other works of art a bonsai is a living thing. It lives, breathes, grows and changes. That is the fascination of bonsai.

Buying a Bonsai is only the beginning and ongoing maintenance and pruning is important of the plant is to stay at its best.
