Add up your points from each question and write it down. a=0 points b=1 point c=2 points

0 points = bonsai never cross your mind, and to think you call yourself a bonsai art reader!
1-5 points = you think about bonsai now and again
6-10 points = Bonsai are starting to take over your life i’m afraid. Theres no turning back now.
11-13 points = You are completely mad about bonsai. You probably have a cat called literali and a dog called yamadori.
14 points = you are totally obsessed. You live, sleep and dream bonsai tree. In fact I think that you probably exaggerated a bit on this quiz…
