Hamba phansi ngendlela ye-Crespi Bonsai Museum e-Milan futhi uzobona isihlahla esiye sachuma iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-1000. Iminyaka eyinkulungwane engamamitha angu-10 ubude ihlanganiswe nezitshalo ezenziwe nge-manicure eziye zaphila amakhulu eminyaka, zicwilisa ilanga lase-Italy ngaphansi kombhoshongo wengilazi kuyilapho abalungisi abaqeqeshiwe bejwayele izidingo zayo. Inguqulo yasekhaya yesifanekiso inikeza abaqalayo indlela elula, eyanelisayo yokuphumula.
Cishe ehunyushwe ngokuthi "ukutshala ithreyi," i-bonsai ibhekisela kumkhuba waseJapane wokukhula kwezitshalo ezimbizeni, kusukela ekhulwini le-6 noma ngaphambili.Le ndlela isebenza ezinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo, kusukela ezitshalweni eziphelele ezihlala ngaphakathi, njengesihlahla setiye esincane (Carmona microphylla), ezinhlobonhlobo ezithanda ngaphandle, njengomsedari obomvu osempumalanga (Junipurus virginia).

Isihlahla esisesithombeni i-Chinese Banyan (i-Ficus microcarpa), ibhonsai esaqalayo esivamile ngenxa yemvelo yayo ecebile kanye nomzala onomusa wasendlini kubuciko bobuciko baseMilanese. Sikhula ngokomdabu kulo lonke elase-Asia eshisayo nase-Australia, futhi indawo yaso ejabulisayo ifana neyabantu: izinga lokushisa liphakathi kuka-55 no-80 degrees, futhi kunomswakama othile emoyeni. yomile ngokusekelwe esisindweni sebhodwe.Njenganoma yisiphi isitshalo, idinga inhlabathi ehlanzekile, kodwa njalo ngemva kweminyaka emithathu, yilapho futhi isimiso sezimpande esiqinile—esiboshwe isitsha esiqinile samatshe—kufanele sithenwe njalo.
Nakuba isithombe esivamile sokunakekelwa kwe-bonsai sihilela ukuthena okubanzi, izihlahla eziningi - kuhlanganise ne-ficus - zidinga ukusika ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela.Kwanele ukusika igatsha libuyele emaqabunga amabili ngemva kokuba lihlume ayisithupha noma ayisishiyagalombili.Abalungiseleli abathuthukisiwe bangakwazi ukugoqa izintambo ezizungeze iziqu, bazilolonge ngobumnene zibe yizimo ezijabulisayo.
Njengoba kunikezwe ukunakwa okwanele, i-banyan yaseShayina izokhula ibe i-microcosm ehlaba umxhwele.Ekugcineni, izimpande zasemoyeni zizokwehla zivela emagatsheni njengama-organic party streamers, njengokungathi ukugubha ukuthi ungumzali omkhulu wesitshalo.Ngokunakekelwa okufanele, lesi sihlahla esincane esijabulisayo singaphila amakhulu eminyaka.
