Little Known Gardening Facts....
What is bonsai?
Bonsai means miniature tree in Japanese.
It is also called Penzai in Chinese and it is all about shaping
and trimming a tree, any tree to fit into a small container.
They are beautiful and require special training to keep them
small and contained within those small areas. They have a rich
and colorful history dating back to the Han Dynasty. In the West
we refer to all miniature trees as bonsai trees even when they are
not truly bonsai trees.
What is the history of bonsai trees?
Historians believe that the bonsai tree came
to us from the Han Dynasty when people wanted small trees to decorate
their houses and their gardens. This was courtesy of the Chinese
people. Later the Japanese began to use the trees during the Tokugawa
period to landscape their property and began to use a variety
of trees in their plantings.
These were not dwarf plants rather they were regular trees used
to make the bonsai tree through careful pruning and potting. Special
containers and skills were needed so it became a pastime of the
wealthier and was a mark of the nobility to have landscapes that
featured these special living art pieces.
