The Art Of Bonsai

 The art of Bonsai dates back many, many years.  First records of this ancient art appear on old scrolls from China.  The monks, shoguns and other travellers took the art to Japan where a more stylized form of the art has developed. The aim of Bonsai is to imitate in a ‘miniature’ form, trees as they appear in nature. 

   The majestic stand alone tree, a grove of trees around a creek, a pine tree from the mountains, knarled and scared trees that by their appearance alone, tell of their life ravaged by drought, storms or defying the elements of nature to battle for survival.

   The difference between a tree in a pot and the art of Bonsai is the training that goes into creating the shape of the tree, the harmony of the tree and its pot; the landscaping of group plantings to imitate a scene from nature. 

The sizes of Bonsai can range from being able to be held on the palm of your hand to trees that need    3 – 4 persons to move (about 1–1 ½ metres tall).  Most popular sizes range from 30cm – 90cm
