Bonsai is a Japanese version of the original traditional Chinese art penjing. The Japanese Bonsai Tree attempts to mimic the shape of full-heigh trees in the wild on a minature scale. A Bonsai Tree is created starting with a cutting, seedling, or small tree of a species suitable for bonsai development. Bonsai can be created from nearly any wood-stemmed perennial or shrub species that produces true branches and can be cultivated to remain small through pot confinement. 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. The plant's growth rate and size will vary depending on planting position & conditions. Delivery Note: Please note that unfortunately we are currently unable to deliver plants to Northern Ireland
