Talk:List of species used in bonsai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Title is a misnomer

This title of this page "List of bonsai species" is a misnomer that perpetuates a myth. There are no such thing as "bonsai species" just as there are no "bonsai seeds. " Rather, bonsai is a technique that can be applied to any tree, shrub, or woody plant. A more correct title would be Plants commonly grown as bonsai since the list incorporates some genera as well as species.

• I'm going to take it that you're correct, I don't know enough about the bonsai technique. My concern is that this should probably be a category? — Estarriol ^talk 11:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Agree with Memobug, it should be re-titled; I'll do it soon unless anyone objects - MPF 21:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
