The Lord of the Rings trilogy is among the top movies in any geek’s favorite movies list; there are thousands of LOTR themed items available in the marketplace, from action figures to full blown hobbit houses and pubs. Here’s something a little different, a Lord of the Rings Bag End Bonsai Tree.
If you’re reading this post, I’m sure you’re familiar with Bag End, but in case you’re not, Bag End is the house where Bilbo and Frodo live; the house was built by Bilbo’s father Bungo Baggins. It’s the house where the LOTR and the Hobbit movies begin and end.
The Lord of the Rings Bonsai tree is created by Chris Guise and features a pretty cozy little hobbit house right under a tree. Now I know hobbit house are small, but this house is even too small for a hobbit. Zoolander’s famous quote “What is this? … A center for ants?” comes to mind.

The Bag End bonsai tree house makes use of wood for the fence, roofing tiles for the red bricks, and florists’ Oasis for filler on the hill, which also helps absorb water from the tree. The door to the house comes with a brass knob and there’s even a miniature broom stick to rake up leaves. The tree is a real bonsai tree, giving the scene a very realistic look. Via: Bonsai Empire
Are these bonsai bag ends available for purchase?
I don’t believe so, you’ll have to visit that forum and ask the person that made them.
