Bonsai Myth #1 - Bonsai come from 'Bonsai Seeds'

If you do an internet search on bonsai or buy one of the popular "bonsai kits," you may run across packets that are labeled BONSAI SEEDS. and Some even have nice pictures of bonsai on the covers.



We should at this point clarify that there are no such thing as "bonsai seeds" that when simply planted will yield a beautifully trained bonsai. However, bonsai can be developed from seeds, garden plants, nursery stock, and cuttings or specimens collected from the wild.

You may find seeds of unusual species or cultivars packaged for bonsai use, but there are no magic bonsai seeds!

Bonsai, like most art forms involves a series of techniques that can be learned and mastered.
