No, it is not a bonsai. It is a aturally stunted tree.

Do not try to bring this home. You will not be able to get it with enough root to survive. Collecting yamadori is a very specialized activity and not something to just do on a whim.


Isn't a bonsai tree just a stunted tree though? what is your definition of a bonsai tree? Wild bonsais definitely exist.


Bonsai is always in a pot.

The term you are looking for was given. Yamadori.

Bonsai is an art. Without the artist there are no art. However, if its possible to sell paintings by monkeys you can call a tree in nature bonsai. The definition is entirely up to you.
