Hey everybody
Please don't take this the wrong way...there is a real curiosity for me about bonsai. But I also find it a bit disturbing and now I think I understand why. It reminds me of the ancient "art" of foot binding. Someone please help me overcome this negative association...tell me the plants don't suffer...
I know that all gardeners prune and train their plants but I wonder if anyone agrees with me that there is something perverse, above and beyond, in bonsai?
Can I change my mind about this, or do you have to have a certain mindset to push a living thing to its very limits?
I bought a pre-bonsai fig tree from a garden centre and planted it in the ground...I am keeping a close eye on it to see if it has suffered any long-term psychological damage LOL
