Who said bonsai weren't trees?
Iris Cohen schreef Pieter, but I set him straight. There are a great many misconceptions about bonsai. They aren't tortured either. In order to be successful, a bonsai has to be very healthy. ****** By most definitions bonsai are not trees. It is irrelevant whether they will grow out to become trees (when released from their torturer / benefactor). A seedling may grow out to be a tree but is not itself a tree. There is a word to describe bonsai, i.e. "bonsai" (sometimes missspelled "banzai"). This is not a taxonomic term. PvR |
