Description
This bonsai forest is made up entirely of hardwood trees and can be seen at Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, Pa. USA in the bonsai display in the Conservatory.
Bonsai is a Japanese art form dating back over 1000 years and has its own aesthetics and terminology. Bonsai translates literally into "plantings in tray." It depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds, not dwarf varieties. Cultivation techniques like pruning, root reduction,defoliation and grafting, etc. are used to produce small trees that mimic the shape and style of mature, full size trees. ref. ~ Wikipedia
