About Us
Bonsai (pronounced “bone-sigh”) is a term that describes the cultivation of miniaturised plants, usually trees, in pots. The word “bonsai” derives from the Japanese words or phrases “bon” meaning pot or tray and “sai” meaning plant, or planting, therefore a plant in a pot or tray. The Japanese term derives from the Chinese “P’en Tsai”, irst used in the Chin Dynasty (265 A.D. – 420 A.D.) and which referred to potted landscapes using trees.
In China, the art form later evolved to a style known as “Penjing” or “Pen-ching” that incorporated rocks and miniaturised buildings and igures of people in landscape settings. The appeal of miniturised trees or
landscapes is broad and several Asian countries have developed their own unique styles including the Vietnamese “Cay Canh” or “hon non bo” (tree and landscape) and the Korean “bunjae”
It is important to point out that bonsai are not special hybrids or genetic “dwarf” trees but are full-sized trees miniaturised by using techniques that involve the pruning of branches, leaves, trunks and roots along with wiring for shape and the use of specialized soil mixtures in pots whose design suits the art form.
