Is a bonsai tree a dicot or monocot?

Answer 1

A bonsai tree is not a specific species but rather a technique used to cultivate miniature trees from various species, which can be either dicots or monocots. Most commonly, bonsai are created from dicot species, such as maples and elms, due to their more complex branching structures. However, monocot species like certain palms can also be used in bonsai practices. Thus, the classification depends on the specific tree species being cultivated as bonsai.
