Little trees, dwarfed trees - these are some of the names people have called bonsai. Bonsai, by definition, means an ornamental tree or shrub grown in a pot and artificially prevented from reaching its normal size. It was derived from the Japanese terms:
Bon - which means tray
and
sai - which means planting

Bonsai symbolizes harmony, peace, order of thoughts and balance. This Japanese art entails a lot of patience as you will not get the result you want instantly. A bonsai can reach its potential or ideal look in as early as two years, some will take more. (Source: Mangyan Bonsai)
Bonsai comes in different sizes. They are classified according to height. Shown below is an image of bonsai(s) in different sizes, in reference to human's height.
