Avocado Bonsai
Avocado trees do grow as bonsai trees, provided they are trimmed and kept in small pots to help restrict their growth. However, the large leaves avocado trees produce can make the bonsai tree look unbalanced or odd-shaped.
Bonsai Needs
Bonsai trees require specially formulated soil that drains water slowly. This keeps the bonsai avocado tree watered without drowning it. Bonsai trees also need to be pruned annually to keep the branches in check.
The Art of Bonsai
Bonsai growing is widely considered to be an art form. Wrapping the branches in copper wire and bending or twisting them into various shapes as they grow. Avocado bonsai trees can be shaped in this way, although the size of their leaves makes it more challenging.
