bonsai definition and meaning

What is "bonsai"?

Bonsai is the art of growing miniature trees in containers, aiming to replicate the shape and style of full-sized trees. Originating in Japan, bonsai involves carefully pruning and shaping the tree's branches, roots, and foliage to maintain its small size and achieve a harmonious, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The process requires patience and skill, as the growth of the tree is meticulously managed over time. Bonsai trees are often displayed as living art pieces, reflecting natural beauty in a compact, cultivated form.
