It has been said that bonsai is a four-dimensional art form. This is because the passage of time introduces changes in the tree; the cycle of the seasons, the application of bonsai techniques and the advancing age of the tree itself all introduce changes.

For this reason, during the life of the tree, the bonsai is never truly "finished" in the sense of a painting or sculpture reaching completion. The tree will continue to develop and grow until it eventually dies. Thankfully, trees are so long lived that they can be enjoyed by your children, and theirs thereafter.
