Want a really rewarding hobby?
Practiced for centuries in
China and Japan, bonsai is the reproduction of natural tree forms in miniature. Bonsai
trees are living miniature trees which increase in beauty and value as they mature over
the years. Get into Bonzai trees
for some really dramatic patio or unique LIVING home and garden
decorations. Believe me it is a unique rewarding hobby that will awaken your life. 
Shape-harmony-proportion-scale are all weighed
carefully as a art form, and the human hand combines this in a common cause with nature. The art of bonsai was not introduced to America until after World War II, when
soldiers brought back specimens they bought. Today, bonsai is practiced throughout the
world. The results of transforming a ordinary scrub or
tree, whether gathered from the wild or at a local nursery, can be very dramatic and
certainly a life enriching and serene hobby. Learn more about how to tend to and train
Bonsai trees below. We offer for sale many bonsai trees ready to display in your home or
office at very reasonable prices. EcomCity's Bonsai shop also showcases rare 30-40
year old Bonsai trees pruned and shaped by bonsai masters ranging in price from $1000 to
$9500. These showpieces become living family heirlooms passed from generation to
generation.
Bonsai (pronounced
bone-sigh) is an ancient oriental horticultural art form. The word Bonsai literally
means, in both Chinese and in the Japanese language, tree-in- a-pot. Originally developed
in the Orient almost 2000 years ago, today the sublime art of bonsai is practiced
throughout the world. Take a look at these Juniper Bonsai Trees now on sale...

A tree planted in a small pot is not a bonsai until
it has been pruned, shaped, and trained into the desired shape. Bonsai are kept small by
careful control of the plant's growing conditions and root system. Only branches important
to the bonsai's overall design are allowed to remain and unwanted growth is pruned away as the
pot size is reduced over the years. Roots are confined to a specialized pot and are
periodically clipped when they become over grown. Bonsai may have a stylized or an
exaggerated form ... mimicking the aging as found in nature.
The appearance of old age of a plant is much prized
and bonsai may live to be hundreds of years old. The living bonsai will change from season
to season and from year to year requiring pruning and training throughout it's lifetime
... and as time goes on it will become more and more beautiful. No wonder Bonsai
enthusiasts consider these the ultimate collectible as they become priceless. Bonsai
crystallizes the Chinese and Japanese aesthetic life style with the art of gardening where
there's a "World in a Stone and View in a Tree". Truly nature touches you if you
reach out and touch it.

Here are a few words of advice for the newcomer that may help to
better prepare you for what is to become a lifelong hobby.
Bonsai is an outdoor activity. Trees and
scrubs are outdoor plants, putting them into pots does not transform them into indoor
plants. With very few exceptions, if you keep your bonsai indoors for extended periods..
they will die. Make room for your collection outside where they thrive. You will be
happier and your trees will be happier.
You will kill trees. This is a sad fact of
the activity, especially as you start out. You are dealing with living things, and you
must be respectful of that. Commit yourself to understanding why every tree dies and what
can be done to prevent it. Learn from your mistakes and do your best to prevent them in
the future.
Try to limit yourself at first to a few
kinds of plants. Every tree is different. Likewise, every kind of tree is different. Learn
to care for a few different types of plants, and grow your collection from there as you
expand your design styles.
It is impossible to write a simple set of care
rules. Every species of plant has it's own special needs. Each location and environment is
different too, and have to be considered. Therefore it is important, when starting in
bonsai, to read all you can on the art. Take advantage of your local bonsai club and we
offer links to many online resources on this special EcomCity Bonsai links page.

BASIC CARE OF BONSAI
WATERING
More bonsai are lost due to improper watering than
from all other causes combined.  The length of time between watering can
vary quite a bit depending on conditions such as humidify, soil moisture retention,
weather conditions, and size of pot. Bonsai usually need to be watered every day or two.
The best time to water is early in the day or late in the afternoon at the same time every
day. A through watering is accomplished when excess water runs out of the drainage holes
in the bottom of the pot, BUT ... too much water can be just as bad as too little water.
In general the soil should be moist, not soaking wet, and not dry! TIP: Collect fresh
rainwater in a oaken barrel as a special watering trick. Your tree will love the chemical
free moisture.

FERTILIZING
Feedings vary from plant to plant (such as
flowering plants have different requirements than the junipers). A water-soluble
fertilizer is usually applied every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing season, in a
half-strength solution. Miracle-Gro or Miracid are commonly used, but check label
directions for your tree. DO NOT FEED right after repotting (wait for 3-4 weeks). Don't
feed if the tree is in a sicken condition. Always pre-moisten the plant soil first and
NEVER fertilize a very dry bonsai... you'll burn it's roots and any decorative moss. TIP: moss collecting was one of my favorite field trips since I often
discovered some great tree specimens along stream banks.
REPOTTING
 A bonsai must
periodically be repotted to supply a pot-bound root system with fresh soil. It is also
necessary to keep the root system in balance with the top growth. Most require repotting
every two or three years and should be placed in specialized pots. This depends on the
growth of the tree and also on the size of the pot ( some may be placed into smaller pots
after triming 20 % off roots). This should be done in the early spring. Do not fertilize
for 3-4 weeks after repotting. Do not let the roots go dry while repotting. Water well
when finished but do not fertilize or place in direct sun light for at least 1 week.

BONSAI CARE TIPS
A bonsai is nothing more than a miniature
version of a normal plant, therefore it can be treated  with commonly found insecticides and fungicides
according to directions on the package. Insects such as aphids, spider mites, scale, and
root aphids are a common problem corrected by sprays, soapy rinse, or a systemic
treatment. Often moss gathered from the wild makes a perfect complement to soil choice
since it visually signals a dry plant while looking great!
TRIMMING PRUNING AND TRAINING
Trimming and pruning are the means by which a bonsai
is kept miniature. This involves the systematic removal of vigorous growth in the spring.
It is important however, to understand that for the health of the tree one should never
remove all the new growth at one time. The roots are trimmed and so is the foliage on the
plant. The tree limbs are wound with annealed copper wire to assist in getting branches to
grow in a specific position and to enhance the look of the tree. This very flexible wire
is removed after 6 months so as not to scar the tree limbs. Usually the branch should then
stay in that position on it's own. Wire should be carefully cut from the branches. Do not
unwind wires as this could break the branch. Trim branches to expose the trunk and to
shape the tree into the look you want. Two goals in bonsai are to make young trees look
older by thickening the trunk and the positioning of the branches, and to find enjoyment
in a hobby that salutes -Nature.

THE DESIRED LOOK
Bonsai is not simply a styled tree, but the combination of
the tree and the pot. The tree and the pot form a single harmonious unit where the shape,
texture and color of one complements the other. Then the tree must be shaped. Every branch
and twig of a bonsai is shaped or eliminated until the chosen image is achieved. From then
on, the image is maintained and improved by a constant regime of pruning and trimming. NEED More resources for your Bonsai hobby? I have compiled
over the years this full links guide to Bonsai Clubs and sites

Watering Properly - Watering properly is critical to
maintaining a healthy bonsai. Indoor bonsai should normally be watered every two or three
days. Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Humidity trays filled with decorative
stone not only capture excess water, they also create needed humidity around your bonsai.
During the time your indoor bonsai is outdoors, it will require more frequent waterings.
Thoroughly water your bonsai daily during this outdoor period. Water your bonsai properly
by using a watering can or hose attachment that has a fine-spray nozzle. You should
thoroughly soak your bonsai’s soil. Water should be running out of the drain holes.
Misting foliage periodically is recommended, but should not be considered watering.
The Bonsai tree itself will present either a single
triangle or set of triangle shaped features. The highest point of the triangle is, in most
cases, the top of the tree (called the "apex"). The right and left points of the
triangle are formed by the first and second branches (the two branches closest to the
ground). Most of the basic styles follow this general rule. When viewing the displays, see
if you can find the triangles.
Other features to look for are good, strong, visible roots
(nebari), a  gentle movement and taper in the trunk (tachi-agari), a
distinct apex, and well developed branches and foliage. The trunk should have a good
taper, with good root formation visible at soil level. Branches should be larger at the
bottom of the tree and decrease in size as they near the top. The distance between the
branches should decrease as they near the top of the tree. There should be negative (open)
areas between the branches to give the impression of a tree rather than a shrub. A bonsai
may have areas of dead wood to give an impression of age. To fully appreciate bonsai, get
down to the level of the tree and look up into it much as you would look at a tree in
nature.
At this point, a style should be suggesting itself to you.
Does the tree fit any particular style? Can you see it as a windswept design, as a
cascade? Is the tree suited to the style you select? Not all trees are suited to all
styles, so you need to know something about the growth characteristics of the species you
select. What kind of growth and shaping will be required in order for the tree to emerge?
Do you see something in that mass of branches, twigs, needles, or leaves that others might
not? How can you bring it out? You'll never just see trees anymore as you'll
grow to notice the shapes of nature.
