Bonsai literally means
plantings in tray, from
bon, a tray or low-sided pot, and
sai, a planting or plantings. It's a Japanese art form using miniature trees grown in specialized containers. CC and I have a few of them throughout the garden and we are trying to make some newer ones from succulents, which are especially easy and attractive to use. It involves branch and root pruning, fertilizing and mounding of the surrounding soil. The succulent versions come inside for the winter, but the tree versions are planted in a cold frame at the side of the house so that they can properly go dormant for the winter.
