Penjing and bonsai differ in that the former attempts to display "wilder," more naturalistic scenes, often representing landscapes, including elements such as water, rocks, or figurines; on the other hand, bonsai typically focuses on a single tree or a group of trees of the same species, with a higher level of aesthetic refinement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://huntington.org/verso/2020/10/art-penjing|title=The Art of Penjing | The Huntington|website=huntington.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bonsaiempire.com/inspiration/top-10/chinese-penjing|title=Top 10: Chinese Penjing trees - Bonsai Empire|website=www.bonsaiempire.com}}</ref>
