Some species are popular as bonsai material because they have characteristics, such as small leaves or needles, that make them appropriate for the compact visual scope of bonsai. Bonsai can be created from nearly any perennial woody-stemmed tree or shrub species that produces true branches and can be cultivated to remain small through pot confinement with crown and root pruning. This may be a cutting, seedling, or small tree of a species suitable for bonsai development. Instead, bonsai practice focuses on long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small trees growing in a container.Ī bonsai is created beginning with a specimen of source material. By contrast with other plant cultivation practices, bonsai is not intended for production of food or for medicine. Purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation for the viewer, and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity for the grower. According to Stephen Orr in The New York Times, "the term should be reserved for plants that are grown in shallow containers following the precise tenets of bonsai pruning and training, resulting in an artful miniature replica of a full-grown tree in nature." In the most restrictive sense, "bonsai" refers to miniaturized, container-grown trees adhering to Japanese tradition and principles. The loanword "bonsai" (a Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese term penzai) has become an umbrella term in English, attached to many forms of diminutive potted plants, and also on occasion to other living and non-living things. It was during the Tang dynasty, when penjing was at its height, that the art was first introduced in Japan. Similar versions of the art exist in other cultures, including the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non bộ. Unlike penjing, which utilizes traditional techniques to produce entirely natural scenery in small pots that mimic the grandiose shapes of real life scenery, the Japanese "bonsai" only attempts to produce small trees that mimic the shape of real life trees.

On a waking tour of the National Bonsai Museum here in Washington, DC, which has over 135 trees on display. One of the best times to visit is during the fall when the foliage of the deciduous bonsai change color.

In our "Bonsai Empire 21st anniversary" series we share a post today created by: National Bonsai & Penjing collection of Australia

"The National Bonsai & Penjing Collection of Australia (NBPCA) is a partnership between the ACT Government and the Australian Bonsai Community. The Collection was officially opened on 28 September 2008 by then ACT Chief Minister, Jon Stanhope and Roger Hnatiuk representing the bonsai community. The NBPCA resided in Commonwealth Park near Stage 88 between this time and the 1st of February 2013 when it moved to the National Arboretum Canberra.

The Collection consists of 120 exhibits with approximately 75 trees on display at any one time. The trees are a variety of traditional and modern styles with the Collection highlighting Australian native species including Banksia serrata and Angophora costata.

Many of the trees are owned by the Collection whilst others on loan from around Australia by the artists or their family. This allows for continued involvement with the community and enables for a dynamic and diverse collection that is always changing and providing new experiences for visitors.
