    Creating Your Bonsai - Intro

    The Most Popular Species to Grow


    To many people, a garden filled with little growing trees grown in clay pots is one of the most exciting and interesting sights to behold. Many are even drawn to this rapidly growing horticultural trend not just because of the feeling of excitement and pleasure that each pot of bonsai can give, but for the fact that bonsai is the most special form of miniature art known to man. Several claims have it that nothing can beat the level of greatness that the bonsais can offer when it comes to arts and aesthetics.

    Bonsai is considered by bonsai masters since the early days of its inception as an art form for one main reason – unlike the other plants and trees grown in your front or backyard, the bonsai requires much of your creativity and dedication. It even needs much of your time and effort, as well as care, for it to grow and thrive for months, even years. These factors are all required since bonsais themselves tend to grow just like those naturally growing trees you often see outside your home if left ignored and untreated. So without your dedication and proper care, your tree won’t look bonsai (small and old looking) as they should be.

    There is one misconception that affects most of the bonsai beginners. This has actually something to do with the belief that bonsai is not a species of tree. Well, the truth of the matter is that any species of tree that grows with leaves, branches and trunks can be developed and trained to become bonsai. It is important, however, for you to make sure that you are ready or willing to do all the works needed in this horticultural hobby and art. That includes, of course, all the pruning and trimming, wiring, repotting, misting, fertilizing, and the like.

    So now, ready for the bonsai challenge? Well, before you take one species of tree from your backyard, make sure that that plant is the right one. If you’re clueless as to what specific variety of tree to grab and grow, then I have a good news for you – below are some of the most popular species of trees that you can train to grow as bonsai. You probably have one or two of these in your garden already. Whatever that may be, take a look at the following:
