Bonsai – In the true Japanese sense, bonsai is a traditionally-defined method of planting and training plants to dwarf them in all parts so that in miniature they have the character of the mature plant. In the language of the American gardener, the word is used to describe a way of pruning, shaping and potting a plant to give it the bonsai look. Small junipers and pines lend themselves to bonsai treatment.
