- I am an avid fruitgrower (fanatical hobbyist) with a longtime fascination
- for bonsai (and completely intimidated by it.)
-
- Are there any special skills/techniques required for turning fruit trees
- into bonsai? Any problems (other than the hugeness of certain fruits against
- the smallness of a bonsai) to be encountered?
-
- I am aware that fruit bonsai could be limited to small-fruited/leafed
- species such as kumquats and natal plum but I am interested in in trying
- other things. Can bonsai be on a slightly larger scale and still be
- considered bonsai? (i.e. large enough so that oranges or apples
- would not look ridiculously huge).
-
- Thanks.
