If you want a hobby that takes a lot of time and patience, but will leave you with a huge reward, then growing and sculpting Bonsai trees may be just the hobby you need.
The art of taking a simple Bonsai sapling and molding it to your desired look and feel , will give you a beautiful reward and a piece of art you can truly be proud of.
The term bonsai literally means plant in a pot or tray planting. Bonsai however is so much more than just a plant in a pot however. The goal of bonsai is to create the appearance of great size and age. The main idea behind bonsai is to create something that looks like it is very big and very old even though it isn't.
This is accomplished by creating a bonsai with strong roots that extend in all directions, creating a sense of stability, a large trunk which tapers as it goes upward, a clear apex, and well formed and well placed branches.
