I was just wondering if you let those plants seed and the polinating male was a bonsai too and you did it for a few years like maybe 5 or so would you notice any difference in the size of the plant? Would the DNA actully be able to change after a period of time? How long would this period be. That would be cool to pass this technique on and keep letting them go to seeds for a bunch of people generations untill the seeds just grew into bonsai plants with no special care. dont really know anything about genetics so my appologies if it is stupid and would never work. I do know that things adapt to there surrounding however this takes way longer then the life of a person. Anyways would it work?

Hmm It seems that you didn?t pay a lot o attention to biology classes at school?
What you say is Lamarcs theory which is not right. Make a search for Lamarcs evolution theory! Acquired characteristics do not get inherited.

LOL okay. I was just wondering if it was possible. I actually dont remember anything about that from biology. I remember hearing something about plants changing like that but wasnt to sure if i heard it worked or didnt work, Thanks for clearing it up =)

SWIM says she's going to try this technique. Seeds are germinating. She'd like to know how long she must keep on pruning. The main concern is the month of August, when she's not going to be around. Any advice would be welcome.

The thing is that acquired traits aren't passed on to their children, which was believed for a while until Darwin posted his book Origin of Species. For example, a horse who stretches out his neck to eat from higher branches will not pass on his longer neck to his children and in a number of generations, become a giraffe.
Rather, there are random changes in the genetics from generation to generation, and those individuals with beneficial changes breed more than other members of their species from generation to generation until the change becomes ubiquitous. If you wanted to apply this method to pot, you could try to selectively pollinate plants that are shorter, and in a long period of time, maybe get a dwarf plant. But cutting the plant in a bonsai style won't cause a change in genetics.
(Oops, didn't realize that this was already answered! Hopefully this explains more though! xD)

I'm new to the whole growing scene I guess you could say. I know what i'm doing but i'm looking to keep my plants small. You said that your plants were about a foot tall. Do they put out a good yield or not so good?
