If you have been
fortunate enough to see a superb specimen bonsai, like this Trident
Maple
Acer buergerianum,
years old,
magnificently shaped, a giant of the forest in miniature you could
have been forgiven for thinking "I could never do that!".
Bonsai is not a mystical art, it is a specialised form of
horticulture which anyone who can grow a plant can enjoy.
The
word bonsai actually consists of two Japanese words: "bon" is a tray
or pot and "sai" a plant or a planting. Essentially, therefore, a
bonsai is a pot plant! For most of us, however, bonsai describes a
tree or shrub planted in a shallow container and cultivated to
appear like a full sized tree.
A bonsai plant is an art form
-- but one which is a living and
growing and which changes as it grows and as the seasons change.
