Reading about each tree was itself an experience. Some of trees were created in interesting ways. Some started their bonsai experience as a stunted trunk with few branches living in their natural growing environment. They might be hundreds of years old, living in difficult growing conditions that keep them stunted. These special trees were dug up and transplanted and trained to grow in the small pots. Specimens are then grafted onto the living trunk and the training of a tree begins its journey.
