Add to your collection with a special, one of a kind bonsai tree
Old bonsai bonsai trees or one of a kind bonsai trees are a little more
expensive than regular or younger trees. They are normally anywhere from
7 years old all the way up to 50 years old for the very expensive rare
bonsai trees. Prices range from around a $100 dollars to well into the
thousands.
Old bonsai trees, if taken care of properly can and will outlive all of
us. A bonsai grown in perfect conditions keep growing for hundreds of
years just like the giant redwoods in California. But because you trim
branches and pinch buds you basically stunt the growth, but it will live
just as long because of human intervention. This is why we highly
recommend that you buy as many books of the subject as you can.

Bonsai tree care
Anyone can keep these one of a kind bonsai trees for over 50 years.
The potential is there but you need expert knowledge to do it, the tree
needs to be cared for very precisely and very meticulously.
On a daily
basis the every need of the bonsai are met, starting with the essentials
of proper watering and sunlight exposure. Now this doesn't mean you have
to do anything but just make sure its ok where it is. Meaning no-one
in the house has bumped it or left a window open nearby so that your
tree is getting a draft. Temperature in the room must always be
constant.
The branch structure is checked and maintained on a regular basis,
allowing branches to be removed if they are not quite right. New
shoots are always allowed to grow so that they may benefit the future
health of the tree. This careful and calculated care management
keeps the older bonsai tree in a constant state of growth. Just
like any full-sized tree in your yard, it is genetically programmed by
nature to achieve maturity and full height. The essential difference is:
by preventing the bonsai from reaching maturity, you are preventing it
from ever reaching old age and falling victim to the troubles that
inevitably go along with aging process.
