Trees are pretty poorly suited to compete with grass in the space of a bonsai pot. The grass can populate rapidly, spreading by runners and stolon, and scores of weed seeds produced by each plant. Weeds also have an naturally intensive root system, the tree roots tend to be extensive, so it loses out in the confines of a pot. Evolution has really adapted grass to grow well in pockets of soil, so the tree is going to have a hard time as it is, without the competition!

Matt
