BEAUTI FUL BONSAI TREES!

Bonsai is a Japanese art form using trees grown in containers. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years.       All around the world you will find Bonsai enthusiasts, gardens and museums dedicated to the traditional art form. Below you will find most beautiful and cute examples of miniature Bonsai trees. Enjoy! :)       A Cherry Blossom in Full Bloom. A bonsai is created by beginning with a specimen of source material. This may be a cutting, seedling, or small tree of a species suitable for bonsai development. Bonsais can be created from nearly any perennial woody-stemmed tree or shrub species.       A Bald Cypress Bonsai. Small trees grown in containers, like bonsai, require specialized care. Unlike house plants or other plants used for container gardening, tree species in the wild generally grow roots that are several meters long, as well as root structures encompassing several thousand liters of soil. In contrast, a typical bonsai container is under 25 centimeters at its largest dimension and 2 to 10 liters in volume.       A Wisteria Bonsai.       One of the oldest bonsai trees in history is a Japanese White Pine. It's estimated that its birthday was in 1625 - nearly 400 years ago.       An Adenium Bonsai. Branch and leaf (or needle) growth in trees is also larger in nature. Wild trees typically grow five meters or taller when mature, whereas the largest bonsai rarely exceeds one meter. Most specimens are significantly smaller. These size differences affect maturation, transpiration, nutrition, pest resistance, and many other aspects of tree biology. Maintaining the long-term health of a tree in a container requires some specialized care techniques.       A Bonsai During Winter.       A Bonsai During Fall.       A 40 year old Coast Redwood Bonsai.       A Chinese Banyan Over 40 Years Old Bonsai.       A 30-Year-Old Hibiscus Bonsai       A Bonsai Designed to Mimic a Forest. The source specimen is chosen for its relatively small size and to meet the esthetic 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 the few accepted shapes and proportions. From that point forward, its growth is restricted to the size of the pot.       A Beautiful Azalea Bonsai.       A Cascade Style of Bonsai. Bonsai trees now have a world-wide audience. There are over 1,200 books on bonsai and the related arts in at least 26 languages available in over 90 countries and territories. So if you fancy trying to grow some of these beautiful examples of bonsai art, and to create something to last a lifetime, there are many online blogs and videos to walk you through the process.       Root Over Rock Style Bonsai.       A Japanese Maple That is Approximately 100 Years Old.       A 60-Year-Old Crabapple Tree Bonsai. Bonsai trees are occasionally confused with dwarfing, but they're actually two different things. While dwarfing refers to the creation of permanent genetic miniatures of existing species, bonsai simply concerns growing small trees from regular stock and seeds. Bonsais also use cultivation techniques, namely pruning, root reduction, potting, defoliation and grafting. These techniques are designed to produce small trees mimicking the shape and style of their full-sized counterparts.       A Trident Maple With Exposed Roots Bonsai.       An Atlas Cedar Over 50 Years Old Bonsai.       A Beautiful Azalea Bonsai.
