Obtain your seeds. Growing a bonsai tree from a single seed is an extremely long and slow process. Depending on the type of tree you grow, it can take up to 4-5 years for the tree's trunk to become just 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Some seeds also require precisely controlled conditions for germination.
Interior of Great Kiva at Aztec Ruins National Monument shows the vast size of the structure. A kiva is a room used by Puebloans for religious rituals, many of them associated with the kachina belief system. Among the modern Hopi and most other Pueblo peoples, kivas are square walled and underground, and are used for spiritual ceremonies.
Eventually some sense began to emerge for me as a result of comments by Colorado archaeologist Stephen Lekson, who believes that the kivas were probably not ceremonial structures, but rather the last manifestation of the long tradition of pit houses (Lekson 1999:24; 1986:6).
