About it
A bonsai is a real tree kept small by careful growing in a shallow pot. Its keeper trims the branches and roots and shapes the trunk, sometimes for many years, so it looks like a tiny old tree from the wild. The art grew in China and was refined in Japan.
Tap it and a new branch grows out of the trunk with a pad of leaves on its end; then a pair of bonsai scissors slides in and snips it off, the cut piece drops onto the moss and is cleared away, and the stub heals over. Pick the pot's color in the Splash tab. Some bonsai trees are hundreds of years old. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull a branch's foliage and it bends after your finger; let go and it springs back.
