RE: #BonsaiNews: Learning how to 'Bonsai,' is not just about bonsai but also about survival
You are very patient with those little plants. I am trying to imagine a little Christmas tree when the Juniper Chinensis will further grow and shaped. 😃
Just few days ago, I was watching a CSI series wherein they came across bonsai. One of the characters mentioned that it will take 10-20 years to have a fully grown bonsai tree. Something that the Japanese takes care of? Is that true?
Yes, the Japanese did start the art of bon-sai (bon supposedly means tray, and sai, is to plant.)
Most people would probably imagine a Christmas tree, no doubt about that. But, you could do so much more with them. Here is a beautiful forest style planting of junipers that I keep staring at every day.

It is a different species of Juniper but still, amazing.
Below is what the chinensis looks like as a bonsai:
This will take many years to do, and I don't think I will live that long to achieve the same.
Oh my... Those look stunning! Yes, the trunks look really old. Just keep trying. That can be an inheritance, seriously!
Exactly. Someone will one day be able to pick up where I left off. That's the great thing.
