Hi,

Absolutely!  I dug up an apple from a cattle pasture and the constant browsing of new branches created quite an unusual apple tree.

Not being in the pasture anymore it is now outgrowing it.

Natural occuring bonsai I guess.

Regards,
Tom

 Mike, On our 80 acres in north central Wisconsin, there are several wild apple trees. In the area that was pasture, there are several (almost) bonsai apple trees. I think the cattle kept them from growing into full size apple trees. Therefore I believe you can create bonsai apple trees. Larry Stark
