Growing Under Stress

The Bonsai exhibit was fascinating. How can anyone have the patience to twist wire around tiny tree limbs and watch the poor thing's growth being stunted? Some of these trees grow in unique shapes that seem completely unnatural. It happens because they grow under stress.

Sawyer was taken with this cluster of midgets whose roots crawled above the moss. He said he felt like a giant peeking into their woods. He looked like one next to them. No one is holding back his growth....or the growth of his hair, for that matter!!!
