22 Beautiful Bonsai Trees that Demonstrate the Art
|
The
bonsai tree is a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in containers.
The purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation (for the viewer) and the
pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity (for the grower). But as much as
I'm sure you've heard about this practice, most of us are only aware of a few
limited types of bonsai tree, when in fact, there are hundreds of different
types.
These 22 beautiful bonsai trees are a
great example of how diverse this artform can be.

A
bonsai is created beginning with a specimen of source material. This may be a
cutting, seedling, or small tree of a species suitable for bonsai
development. Bonsai can be created from nearly any perennial woody-stemmed
tree or shrub species.

Small
trees grown in containers, like bonsai, require specialized care. Unlike
houseplants and other subjects of container gardening, tree species in the
wild, in general, grow roots up to several meters long and root structures
encompassing several thousand liters of soil. In contrast, a typical bonsai
container is under 25 centimeters in its largest dimension and 2 to 10 liters
in volume.

One of the oldest bonsai trees in history,
this is a Japanese White Pine,and its
conjectured that its birthday was in 1625, almost 400 years ago.

Branch and leaf (or needle) growth in trees is also of a larger scale in nature. Wild trees typically grow 5 meters or taller when mature, whereas the largest bonsai rarely exceed 1 meter and most specimens are significantly smaller. These size differences affect maturation, transpiration, nutrition, pest resistance, and many other aspects of tree biology. Maintaining the long-term health of a tree in a container requires some specialized care techniques. |

The source
specimen is shaped to be relatively small and to meet the aesthetic standards
of bonsai. When the candidate bonsai nears its planned final size it is
planted in a display pot, usually one designed for bonsai display in one of a
few accepted shapes and proportions. From that point forward, its growth is
restricted by the enviornment supplied by the pot.

Bonsai has now definitively reached a
world-wide audience. There are over twelve hundred books on bonsai and the
related arts in at least twenty-six languages available in over ninety
countries and territories. So if you fancy trying to grow some of these
beautiful examples of the bonsai art, and create something that lasts a
lifetime, there are many onling blogs and videos to walk you through the
process.

The practice of bonsai is sometimes
confused with dwarfing, but dwarfing generally refers to research, discovery,
or creation of plant cultivars that are permanent, genetic miniatures of
existing species. Bonsai does not require genetically dwarfed trees, but
rather depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds. Bonsai
uses cultivation techniques like pruning, root reduction, potting,
defoliation, and grafting to produce small trees that mimic the shape and
style of mature, full-size trees.
