Bonsai just means potted tree or potted plant. People create bonsai trees to mimic the look of full sized trees. They do this by limiting the tree’s growth to keep it from growing too quickly and too large. There are many aspects to creating a bonsai tree but the main feature is just a standard tree, and a small pot. From there it’s about keeping the tree small, but looking like a minature tree. By pruning the tree’s leaves, branches, and roots, combined with wiring the branches to form a specific shape, the look of a large adult tree can be created.
