MINIATURE BONSAI are as delightful a creation as ordinary bonsai, yet they require only a fraction of the normal cultivation time and are much easier to display. An ordinary bonsai may take as long as a decade to reach maturity, while an intricate and fully-formed miniature bonsai can be produced within a year or two.
Moreover, instead of requiring a special viewing stand or large table, miniature bonsai can be displayed on a desk, windowsill, or anyplace where there are a few inches of available space.
