subject: Bonsai Trees: Unusually Beautiful Gift Idea For Any Occasion [print this page] Trees play a vital role in maintaining the balance of our environment. They help avoid flood, keep the air clean and cool, give shade and more importantly they are the source of the air that we breathe.

Bonsai is the art of growing trees, or woody plants shaped as trees, in containers. They can be referred as miniatures of large trees and plants and are usually grown in a pot. They are sometimes confused with dwarfing trees. Bonsai does not require genetically dwarfed trees, but rather depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds. Bonsai uses cultivation techniques like pruning, root reduction, potting, defoliation, and grafting to produce small trees that mimic the shape and style of mature, full-sized trees. In most cases, a bonsai can increase its market value when it reaches a relatively old age.
Today, bonsai trees are widely used as gift plants during special occasions like birthdays, reunions, gatherings and other important get together. Its uniqueness as a dwarfed plant makes the bonsai interesting and more attractive in an unusual way.
