Has anyone heard anything like this? I am very interested in bonsai trees and was interested to find out if they are occurring naturally or they are being farmed in some way. Any info would be much appreciated.

It is either named after the Old Cornish for 'Dwelling place of Conoc' or perhaps Bo-Con-Oke - 'Place of Stunted Oaks'. After doing a bit of a looksee, it does appear that there is a very interesting stunted forest in Cornwall. I am sure it doesn't qualify as a Bonzai forest, but it sounds interesting nonetheless. QuoteCancleave is situated on the coast road between Crackington Haven and Widemouth Bay. Standing in around 1/4 an acre of lawned garden bordering the coast path, it commands extensive views across Bude Bay right the way to Lundy Island on a clear day. All our properties lie within the North Cornwall designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as the Boscastle to Widemouth SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) Just outside the garden gate lies the South West Coast Path and from here a path winds down the sloping cliffs to the pebble beach below. Take the coast path to the south west of the property and you will shortly arrive in a dense stunted oak forest; a forest of fully mature yet miniature oaks. The pebbled beach of Millook is one mile by road to the north or approximately 30 mins on the coast path. http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/Mineshop_Cottages/page1.html I will certainly be taking a stomp to investigate next time I am in the area.
