Bonsai is the traditional tree in japan it grows in a small pot and is maintained in a smaller size than its natural growth.
Any plant that is normal can be turned into a bonsai if it can exist in a smaller version. If the plants roots are able to be trimmed and can the branches be cut and will the plant survive in a small and shallow pot.
