So anyone here have any bonsai trees? I took horticulture in college and picked up many trees.

All the art consists of is taking a tree genus and growing it small, in a pot. Trimming and shaping the tree to be small and imitating the larger trees. Very beautiful art it is. They make little forests too, they call the satsuki.

if you google bonsai trees you will find thousands of pics. The older the tree the more sacred.

Jim Morrison killed my bonsai tree. Well, it was a portrait of Jim Morrison. Or some chemical the painting was treated with,

I really admire the art of Bonsai. It is such a talent to know where to cut and where not to cut. That's why I leave it to the experts.

I had one that I had had for years and it just died recently. I was very upset and really miss it.

Bonsai trees are awesome. I would love to have one, but it wouldn't love me.

I love plants, and keep trying to work with plants and flowers as a hobby, but i too seem to have a black thumb. it can be very depressing.

Do you have bonsai? Have you been successful with them? I do think its a good suggestion.
