How To Grow A Bonsai Tree
Copyright (c) 2010 Patrick Downey
Bonsai trees (miniature replicas of larger trees) have been a source of beauty and awe in private gardens and public arboretums for decades. You will be able to choose any perennial tree or shrub species that will complement any décor and/or setting in the size and style you want for your bonsai tree. There are also bonsai trees that are available for both indoor and outdoor settings. There are sizes and styles and varieties of bonsai trees that will add a special touch to your current décor.
History
Although the term Bonsai tree is used as a broad sweeping term for all miniature trees, several other cultures have similar traditions. China has a similar tradition in penjing and Vietnam has the tradition of miniature living landscapes known as hòn non bộ. Bonsai is the Japanese term and loosely translates has tray (bon) growing or planting (sai). The intent of Bonsai is for contemplation and decoration and finished products are considered a form of art. There is a long history of container (tray) grown Bonsai trees. Learning provides a prospective on what Bonsai tree tradition and how you can apply it to your own décorcor or life style.
Plant Selection
Where you get your source material for your Bonsai tree is important. Growing your tree from seed (not the normal practice) is seldom due to the time it takes to reach a mature or aged look to the plant. Knowing the environment (cold, warm, dry, raining, etc...) the plant will live in is essential to source material selection. Ideally, any source material used will be indigenous to the location where the tree will be displayed. This applies mostly to trees intended for outdoor display but should be kept in mind for indoor display. However, Bonsai tree can be created from any woody plants the final selection has to fit the creative palette of the grower. Go to your local nursery for starter material until you are comfortable finding your our source material.
Containers Style and Size
The container is an essential aspect for the display of the final Bonsai Tree. Any container used should have holes in the bottom to allow water to flow through. The size of the final display container should match the aesthetics of what you see in the final product. In addition, training containers should be used while growing or training the plants to attain the final desired form. Training containers hold several plants and require a large volume of soil. The larger volume of soil allows the roots to grow more freely during the training phase and creates as healthier root system for the tree. If you are only growing one Bonsai tree, the final display container and training container can be the same.
Pruning Tools and Training/Pruning the Trees
Generally come in sets and can be found locally. Buy a starter kit and add the tools you need as your knowledge and skill increase. Pruning or training/shaping of any Bonsai tree is essential in the care and development of the tree. The basic pruning techniques are leave trimming, pruning of the roots, trunk and branches, wiring and clamping. Root prunning and repotting are essential skills necessary to the overall appearance of the Bonsai tree. The tools you will eventually use are important to make each technique as productive and easy as possible.
Buying vs. Growing your Own Bonsai Tree
The biggest, single drawback to buying a ready for display Bonsai tree is the care. If you buy a completed Bonsai tree, you will not have developed the skill set (pruning, trimming, replanting, etc...) to maintain the tree. You can always pay to have the tree maintained, but the enjoyment for me was always in the work and sense of accomplishment. Growing/training a Bonsai tree requires patience and commitment to a long term goal. Years can be spent training and eventually maintaining your Bonsai tree, but it is time well spent.
So, learn everything you can and you may find that growing Bonsai Trees is hobby for life.

Were can I find a small Azalea tree/bush to grow?
I read such trees can be turned into bonsai trees by root training and wirering.
True. But you need to start when the plant is still small.
The nursery I work at usually gets all kind of small shrubs in every srping. $5.00 for a small, young plant in a 1 gal. pot. That would be where i'd start.
When growing season gets in gear, call your local nurseries and ask. Any that have greenhouses might also have small "untrained" bonsai starter plants of different species.
