We have had tongue in cheek discussions of an alternative term to 'bonsai' during Arthur's annual visits to our club. I suppose we could call them "Artistic Pot Plants" as did Wu Yee Sun (Man Lung Penjing)...heck, we'd probably get more inquiries from younger folks! ;-) As well as unwanted scrutiny from local law enforcement (like your meth lab neighbors, Ron??)
I actually prefer "Tree Bondage", but likewise, unwanted attention may follow.

We could just change the spelling to 'bonzai'...most newbies would be familiar with that! ;-)
