what kinds of fruit bearing trees can be made into bonsai trees?

Question

can a banana tree be made into one . could i buy one online

Answer 1

A banana "tree" is not a true tree, and dies back every year after the fruit is harvested. It's more an herbaceous plant and is not really a good candidate for bonsai because it doesn't live long enough to train into shape. Its leaves are also huge and it doesn't have true branches. The stalk on which bananas form is not a branch.

A better candidate is a small-fruited tree, like a crabapple or cherry. Both produce flowers and then attractive fruit, are hardwood trees which live many years, and have branches to train into the bonsai shape. Apples, pears, and peaches, which produce larger fruit would overwhelm the bonsai as the fruits mature.

As for purchasing online, there are many bonsai sources accessable through google. Wouldn't it be more interesting to try growing your own from seed?

Answer 2

I think that in essence, a good tree bearing a bad fruit should be more common, just out of all the possible ways that a person can be corrupted by modern day society, however I fear that there are not enough good trees to make that terribly common, therefore a bad tree bearing good fruits are more common. As for what determines one's character, every single aspect of his/her life. You'd be a fool to say that one's character was entirely determined by genetics, but at the same time there has to be more than just the events one goes through. I do believe that one's experiences and history determines his/her character a lot more than genetics, but since the brain seems to be a fuzzy blend of science and art, I'd have to say both.
