Bonsai are living miniature trees cultivated through careful pruning and training, originating in East Asia over a thousand years ago. These dwarf specimens can live for centuries, with some families passing treasured bonsai down through generations. The art requires patience and skill, as growers shape the tree's growth to mimic the appearance of ancient, full-sized trees compressed into a small form.
