Special Bonsai Plantings

The exquisite beauty of a bonsai tree well trained in a simple style, and growing vibrantly in a pot of suitable size and shape, can be the focus of many happy hours of contemplation. For some people, such simplicity is all that is necessary. Others, however, may prefer the more complex drama of a tree trained to cling to a rock, or the grandeur of a bonsai group planting.

Such scenes are more complicated to create, but the basic rule of all bonsai still applies: the finished planting should evoke a natural theme.
