Bonsai is the art of producing miniature
trees by selective pruning. It originated in
China many centuries ago and later spread to
Japan. Some specimens in China are around
1,000 years old and some in the imperial
Japanese collection are more than 300 years
old. In Japan, bonsai trees are regarded as
works of art and can be valued at millions of
pounds. British collectors have paid as much
as ú15,000 for one tree.
