The care of bonsai is not very different from maintaining any garden. However, because of the nature of bonsai - minature versions of larger trees and shrubs - pruning is very important. The time of the year when you prune a plant is very important. Some bonsai are trimmed and pruned in early spring whiles others prefer a summer or fall prune. Feeding and watering is also very important. Each bonsai plant has its own preferences. |

A Bonsai is a tree or shrub grown in a container that is a minature version of the tree or shrub that grows naturally in the wild. The Bonsai tree or shrub will not exceed 70 cm in length (less than 3 feet). |
What Are The Major Principles Of Bonsai Design? |

|
The goal in designing your bonsai tree or shrub is to achieve a product as close to a natural specimen growing in natural surroundings as possible. |
|
A natural bonsai has no obvious man made design elements visible to the eye . There are no sudden big changes on the taper of trunks or branches. The trunk and branches will have a nice flowing natural taper to them. |
