"A Pinch of this..."

...bring May....

Term of the month: NEBARI

Commonly known in horticultural terms, as buttressing, Nebari is simply the
spreading of roots above the growing roots just beneath the bonsai base. It is this
characteristic actually, which makes bonsai well anchored and grounded. This is also,
what allows the trees to grow with a matured appearance.
