Galery Bonsai Klasik I

If you have ever wondered how bonsai trees are made, you are in good company. These tiny works of living art have delighted and mystified people for centuries. Perfectly pruned, these miniature trees provide hours of enjoyment as well as giving an air of relaxation to the room in which they reside.

So what is a bonsai tree? The word “bonsai” actually refers to the method in which the tree is planted and not the type of tree itself. In fact, there are many different species of tree that work well in bonsai plantings. These plants are usually types of dwarf trees, although some heartier shrubs can be used as well.

The art of bonsai was developed in ancient Japan and is believed to be a derivation of a similar practice in China known as penjing. There are depictions of bonsai trees appearing in ancient Japanese scrolls dating back to the year 1195.
