My Picks For Cool Tweets About Bonsai

I am very much fascinated by the bonsai tree.  Are you?  If you search for it on the Internet, videos will show up in the first page results.  There were 3 videos that caught my eye.

• One explained why bonsai trees were so expensive.  (You have to justify your purchase.)
• The other explained how to water and feed them.  (If you spent a lot of money, for sure you want that tree to live forever!)
• The last video was, of course, how to grow your own bonsai tree.  (Hey!  Why pay for something I can grow it myself?  Besides that, since they are so expensive, maybe if I learn how to grow them, I can start a business selling them and making money!)

There were lots of other information links as well.  I don’t grow bonsai trees, but I have a friend who does.   It’s a hobby but she wants to turn it into income.  Wise decision.  She lives in South Africa.  I hope she’s successful.  There is definitely a market for this plant in that part of the world.

Fun Fact:  The Japanese adopted the art of growing miniature trees from the Chinese.

Here are some cool tweets.  Enjoy!

The beauty of a well grown and trained #Bonsai specimen is exhibited in this 67 year old Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca') at the U. S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. My admiration goes out to all that have the ability and patience to produce such plants. pic.twitter.com/kmvhIGznks

We’re donating this beautiful #bonsai tree, received as a gift from the UAE, to US National Arboretum’s Bonsai Museum so it can be viewed by the public. While CIA officers have many specialized skills, the art of bonsai maintenance is admittedly beyond the scope of our training. pic.twitter.com/qkpKX0zWi6
