House plants don't get much manlier or majestic than the Bonsai Tree. Actually, Bonsai is not a tree at all, but a method of growing. Bonsai, a Japanese art, is growing trees in containers. There are many techniques involved in growing bonsai trees successfully such as root reduction, pruning, and leaf removal. There are many types of trees that grow well as a bonsai tree, but the Giant California Redwood, the Dwarf Jade Plant, and the Mexican Weeping Willow are a few of my favorites.
