Well I Just decided to finally grow my first Bonsai tree, and I thought, Hey I could post this on Japan Forum show some people how as I go threw the process myself.

Well for starters growing a Bonsai Tree (I hear) is easy. You find some shrub, bush, small tree, or you can grow your own buy purchasing Bonsai seeds. (shrub, bush or really small tree seeds ^_^)
These are not ones I took Photos of Just a quick yahoo search, I post some of my photos latter ^_^

Bonsai(盆栽) literally "potted plant" is a bush or shrub that is grown in such a way that it appears it has survived the extremes of nature. Using wires, pulleys, and weights the artist creates a miniature, weathered version of their full sized counterparts.

Though Bonsai is seen as Japanese, its origins bring it back to the main land of China. In Chinese it is know as pinyin (盆景) or “tray scenery". Chinese philosophers, saw nature in its beauty and wrote poetry, drew partings, and capture is attractiveness with miniature trees.

Now that the small history lesson is done; I’m going to move on to the preparations for the Bonsai tree. Not every thing is done at the moment, I just started after all but will soon be complete at (maybe) the middle of summer (if things go right ^_^) If you would like to follow along and possibly create your own Bonsai, or if you have any advice you can give me, feel free PM me. Ive done a little bonsai in japan (but was dumb enough not to take a photo of one of mine )
