Bonsai is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in containers.
Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of
penjing and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non . The
Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years, and has evolved its own
unique aesthetics and terminology.
The purposes of bonsai is primarily contemplation and the pleasant
exercise of effort and ingenuity. By contrast with other plant cultivation
practices, bonsai is not intended for production of food, for medicine, or for
creating yard-sized or park-sized gardens or landscapes. Instead, bonsai
practice focuses on long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small
trees in a single container. Bonsai can be created from nearly any perennial
woody-stemmed tree or shrub species which 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.
