- 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 £15,000 for one tree.
