This is the official alt.bonsai FAQ.

I'll try to update the FAQ either weekly or as often as required based on
the info submitted. (In other words..I'll do it more often if required
and less often if nothing has changed). The FAQ will be posted every 
Monday for the first 4 to 6 weeks (unless it gets TOO big too fast) and 
then once a month, or when it get updated which ever comes first.

If there are error or typo's in this text, or if your name has been left 
off of the contributor list, please just drop me a note. I'm very much 
capable of making mistakes...I do promise to do my best to correct all 
errors found before the next release of the FAQ.

The bonsai Dictionary is still under construction. I have some of the 
most frequently used japanese terms (according to my limited sources), 
and I have the latin botanical terms (again within the limits of my 
knowlege/sources...) If you have additions or corrections, please e-mail 
them to me at the address below.

Section 2 What is Bonsai?

This was at one time, the most commonly ask of all FAQ's, but, since
the Karate Kid was first shown, the frequency with which this question gets 
asked has decreased a little bit..Bonsai is literally a plant, (usually a 
tree or shrub) grown in a tray, or dish. Bonsai was first practiced in
Japan. No one knows when, exactly, the first bonsai were collected and
cultivated, but there is mention of it as early as the Kamakura period
(1192-1333), in a scroll describing life in the Heiari period (794-1191).*
Other sources claim the roots of bonsai are in China where it started
with the gardeners of the emperor, and the secrets were handed down from 
father to son.
   The original bonsai tree's were usually collected, dwarfed by nature. 
Today, however, it is probably better to allow such specimens to stay
where they are. Many locations collecting them in the wild is against
the law. In others the chance of finding a suitable specimin is almost
zero.
   Over the years, techniques have evolved which allow the grower change 
the height and direction of growth, and in some cases to dwarf the foliage 
as well as the plant. Today, bonsai is an art form, a living sculpture. 
There are certain classic or traditional forms that can be found and 
followed, but the basic rule of thumb for personal bonsai is 'If you like 
the way it looks, its a good bonsai'.

Section 3 -- Dictionary of bonsai terms

   Bonsai styles ---
   
     chokkan   Formal Upright
           The chokkan bonsai typically has a single, upright trunk
           that tapers toward the top, branches are symetrically balanced
           and well spaced.
           
     moyogi   Informal Upright
           Moyogi bonsai have a single trunk like the chokkan, but the
           trunk is usually curved. The trunk generally tapers toward
           the top like the formal upright.
           
     kabudachi (multiple trunks)
       sokan   Twin Trunk
       sankan  Triple Trunk
       gokan   5 trunk
           Two (or 3 or 5) trunks growing from the same root. Usually
           one trunk is the largest and is refered to as the parent.
           Good conformation is based on the esthetic balance of the
           smaller 'children' to the parent in trunk thickness.
           
     shakan   Slanting
           A single trunk, similar to the formal and informal upright,
           but cultivated with the trunk growing at an angle other than
           90 degree's to the ground. Brances are again balanced and
           well spaced.
           
     netsuranari   sinuous
           sinuous bonsai have multiple trees growing from a single
           sinuous root. 5 needle pine are most commonly used for
           this style.
           
     neagari   exposed root
           Roots growing up out of the ground, suspending the trunk
           in the air characterize this rare style of bonsai.
           
     ikada   raft
           Similar in effect to netsuranari, but typically with one
           straight horizontal root joining the tree's. This is usually
           accomplished by burying a larger tree horizontally and then
           training each branch as a separate tree.
           
     fukinagashi   Windswept
           Similar to the slanting style, but all of the branches are
           swept in one direction as though it were growing in a place
           with a strong constant prevailing wind.
           
     kengai   cascade
           An unusual form where the trunk and branches arch and
           'cascasde' over the edge of the pot. Usually planted in a 
           deep pot to give balance to its unusual form.
           
     binjingi   literati
           upright or informally upright trunk bare of branches
           expect at the top, characterized by a tasteful simple 
           elegance.
           
     hokidachi    broom
           broom style tree's have an upright trunk, with branches
           evenly fanned out. IT resembles an old fashioned broom
           standing on its handle.
           
     yose-ue   Group
           A group planting of distinct separate tree's, representing
           a grove, or forest.
           
     ishitsuki   rock-grown
           There are two basic types of rock grown bonsai, root
           grasping the rock, where the roots do enter the soil the
           rock is protruding from, and on, or in the rock, where
           the tree is planted in a pocket of earth attached to
           the rock, or in a hollow in the rock.

Section 4 -- Frequently Asked Questions!

Q: How do I start?

    Opinion 1)  Get as many books as you can. Read them..look at the 
        pictures. Look in your local phone book and see if there is a 
        bonsai club in your area. Talk to local Nursery operators and 
        see if they know of any clubs in your area. Select a tree that 
        has some of the basic design that you'd like to have in your 
        final tree, and buy it..use the info you got from reading, and 
        from the local club/nursery owner (if he knows what bonsai is!).


    Opinion 2)    Indoors: Remember that immature plants should not be 
        treated as bonsai, they must be treated as the houseplants they 
        are. Give them plenty of soil to grow in and don't use to little
        fertilizer, or they won't develop branches and leaves when you
        cut them and the trunk won't grow in thickness.


Q: As a beginner, should I purchase a mature or partially trained bonsai, 
or start from scratch?

    Opinion 1) I think you should start from scratch. Your first 
        attempts may never be 'show quality', but you can make a few 
        mistakes without damaging a tree you paid for. It may take a bit 
        longer to arrive at something that looks the way you want it to, 
        but bonsai is (usually) not one of those instant gratification 
        hobbies. If you get the proper book and some guidance, starting 
        with some in-expensive nursery stock may yield some 'instant 
        bonsai' which allows the beginner to learn, while allowing you to 
        own something that looks like a 'real bonsai'. Stay away from 
        tree's labeled 'Bonsai' in MOST discount stores. Numerous people 
        have seen some discount chains with dead or dying seedlings 
        planted in shallow trays with a solid mat of pebbles glued down 
        over the soil. The trees had not been watered, and even if they 
        were, the water couldn't penetrate the ground-cover. They were 
        marked $10.00...

    Opinion 2)    The question should really be: Should I start from 
    scratch with a small seedling, or with a plant that is larger. 
    Neither will give you "instant bonsai". The larger will have a thicker 
    trunk from the beginning, and thus will look "almost like a tree" 
    sooner. A younger plant gives you larger freedom in which shape to 
    train it into. You get to use different methods on them, the larger 
    lends itself to cutting down, the smaller to cutting away to encourage 
    other growth.

   (And by all means, if you see a shaped tree you really want,
   the price is right, it looks healthy and undamaged, and is of
   a species you know is hardy or of a sort you already have, and
   therefore know you can take care of -- it _is_ OK to buy it.)



Q: Is there a list of which plants that are accepted as 'good' to start a 
    bonsai? (Latin names, and if to be in- or out-doors please)

Ficus benjamina         Indoors
   Fast grower, hardy. Easy to get the leaves small. Suitable for
   many different shapes.

Ficus retusa            Indoors
   Similar to benjamina, leaves grow in a different pattern.

Ficus pumila            Indoors
   If you want a cascade, this is the way to go. Cut often to
   prevent it from going long and thin. May die if the roots dry
   out totally.

Schefflera arboricola   Indoors
Schefflera actinophylla Indoors
   Can be cut down enormously, buy a 50cm plant and cut it down
   to 10cm! Must be shaped completely without wiring. Takes
   correct treatment to get the leaves small.

Crassula argentea       Indoors
Portulacaria afra       Indoors
   Succulents with small leaves, branch easily.

Malpighia cocciera      Indoors
   Slow grower.

Murraya paniculata      Indoors
   Slow grower. Gets beautiful structured bark when still young.

Myrthus communis        cool winters
   Must be kept at around +10C in the winter.



Q: I have trouble finding the 'right' pots for bonsai.
   (Either unavailable or too expensive) Are there alternatives?

Q: I assume that the time & # of times to prune the trees/roots
   vary with the latitude. Anyone have data on that?
