The most obvious characteristic in this timeless practice is its miniature size. Whether the tree is only two inches tall or over two feet tall, the mature plant resembles a full-sized tree. Careful cutting of the branches and roots keeps the tree from growing too large.

The parts of a bonsai tree must be kept in proportion. The leaves, flowers, and fruit should not overpower the trunk with their size. The container is chosen with care to complement the tree.

A properly placed bonsai is never planted in the center for spiritual and design reasons. Asymmetry is preferred in the alignment of the branches and the shape of the trunk.
