I’ve seen the picture of an apple bonsai tree with a single apple on it and I want to know how that happened.
In: Biology
Basically a bonsai is a plant in a pot. How we shape them makes them bonsai.
There are tons of ‘rules.’ It’s good to learn them. However, I agree with the old saying, *rules are made to be broken* (after you learn them)
‘The appearance of age is a valued asset. Sometimes bonsai are old, other times they just look old. There are many techniques to create that aged look. For starters, a stout trunk will help.
Sounds like you may have started your tree from a seed. It will take a long time for it to look old, but in the meantime you can start shaping it. Books and websites are a good place to start. A bonsai teacher in your area is best.
Because there are many types of plants used for bonsai, there are also many ways to care for them. No matter the species you are growing, it is important to know *how to care for that plant.*
