Despite the best of intentions you will get very little help from any group
as this is such a vast subject. Libraries keep many books related to this
topic and would be your best avenue. Tried 'Google'?
Wire is used to control the shape of
growing branches.

Ok, I'm a Japan-o-phile, have been for many years.

Anyhoo, what I'm wondering about is the care and growth of the famous
bonsai
tree.

How difficult is it? Is much "work" involved?

Is there a bonsai cherry tree? Do bonsais flower or bear fruit?

I've heard that wire is involved. Presumbly to inhibit growth, correct?
If so, is it necessary to keep re-wiring the tree over time?
