Can you plant bonsai trees in the ground. Because of the small amount of soil available for the plant in a shallow pot the plant grows slowly and also the plant is shaped to look like a mature tree by various techniques.

Each year the tree can be worked on in the ground and dug up and the roots pruned. If the same plant is removed from the pot and put in the ground the tree.
The drawback is that you will have to wait around three years before being able to shape or style your bonsai tree. A bonsai is a living miniature tree and not a house plant.
