Plant of the Week: Bonsai

Plant of the Week: Bonsai

A well-trained bonsai tree is a work of art, with all the gnarled bark, twisted stems and knotted roots of an ancient tree in miniature.

A display of bonsai on a coffee table or framed in a recess makes a calming, meditative statement and is the perfect finishing touch to a stylish, modern interior. Pop into the garden centre today and choose from our superb exotic specimen trees, presented in shallow, oriental-style dishes – the secret to keeping these tiny beauties so small. Give your bonsai a bright position but out of direct sunlight, water frequently and trim lightly to keep that perfect shape.
