An Introduction to the Art of Bonsai

Bonsai is one of the most beautiful forms of gardening there is! It is a life work, though. One family has been caring for a Bonsai for over 800 years. The basics are that you use careful and constant root pruning to force a tree or shrub to maintain a miniature size. You can Google, and also see the link "An Introduction to the art of Bonsai" for more information. Several nurseries specialize in Bonsai and offer courses in creating and maintaining your own.
I've taken a few courses, and helped maintain a few, but have never had the time to actually start a Bonsai. If you do, please post photos!
