Facts about White-Cedar Tree:
• Bonsai 盆栽 literally translated, means “Tray Planting” is the Japanese and East Asian art of growing and training miniature trees in containers.
• Developed from the traditional Chinese art form of penjing (盆景). Penjing and bonsai differ in that the former attempts to display "wilder," more naturalistic scenes, often representing landscapes, including elements such as water, rocks, or figurines; on the other hand, bonsai typically focuses on a single tree or a group of trees of the same species, with a higher level of aesthetic refinement.
• Thuja occidentalis, also known as northern white-cedar, eastern white-cedar, or arborvitae, is an evergreen coniferous tree, in the cypress family Cupressaceae, which is native to eastern Canada and much of the north-central and northeastern United States. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant.
• Arborvitae is Latin for 'tree of life' – due to the supposed medicinal properties of the sap, bark, and twigs.
