Bonsai is a Japanese form of art and technique wherein the skills lie in sculpting a tree, an art which is appreciated all over the world. You will find an abundance of Zen and Chinese gardens that display a garden of beautiful Bonsai trees.
Bonsai employs nurturing strategies like pruning, root cutback, potting, pruning leaves, along with grafting to create little trees with the purpose of replicating the shape and style of mature, full-sized trees.

Do you think Bonsai looks beautiful as an art piece?
I got a book about bonsai as birthday gift many years ago but never did the first step. I don't know if I have enough patience for this, but can certainly be a fascinating hobby.
I've always loved Bonsai. I wish I had the expertise to try it.
I love Bonsai, i have one in my house
Yes, bonsai are very beautiful.
