Bonsai (help·info) (盆栽 Japanese) (lit. tray cultivation) is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees, or of developing woody or semi-woody plants shaped as trees, by growing them in containers. Cultivation includes techniques for shaping, watering, and repotting in various styles of containers. This process is also known as dwarfing.

'Bonsai' is a Japanese pronunciation of the earlier Chinese term penzai (盆栽). A 'bon' is a tray-like pot typically used in bonsai culture. The word bonsai is used in the West as an umbrella term for all miniature trees in containers or pots.

A. Cultivating "bonsai" is not something one would do in any kind of a hurry. My advice is to go buy a book translated into English, written by a Japanese master. Then read it carefully. I have grown "bonsai" for over 40 years -- the key word is patience. There are two main ways to start: 1. From a seed (requiring many years to get anywhere with it). 2. From a plant taken from nature (putting it aside for about two years and giving it loving care just to make sure it survives). Of course, nowadays, you can simply buy one! But you have to know what to do with it! In any case, care and attention are mandatory. All the information about when to cut off the leaves (to get smaller ones and thus enhance the "illusion") and when to cut… [cont.]

A. It is an OUTDOOR tree, and must not be kept in your house for more than 2 hours a MONTH. It must have a cold winter so it can go dormant. If you would like to send an email to me at: wchoat@american-bonsai.co m , I'll be glad to send you care instructions that the seller should have given you.

How do I transport my Bonsai to Germany on a plane?
Q. I would like to take my bonsai tree with me to Germany from the UK on an airplane flight. How do you go about doing this as all I can work out from the government web site is: don't, as its illegal and my poor bonsai will be destroyed. Surely it must be possible to transport a plant for personal reasons not business?
