If you're wondering how long it takes to grow a bonsai tree, you may be surprised to know that its growth is never finished!People who cultivate bonsais can spend a lifetime growing it, but how long until you get to enjoy the fruits of all that labor?
'Typically, a bonsai reaches initial maturity after 10-15 years and then full maturity at closer to 30 years in age,' says Kat Aul Cervoni, landscape designer and founder of Staghorn NYC and The Cultivation by Kat. 'Remember, it's a long game with bonsai and well-tended ones can live well over a hundred years.'
