All of my tree's that were collected have not had any significant changes made to the way they were growing when DUG.
I have wired to open up where if it is not done branches and twigs will die.
To style a tree is not it should be this way or that because it is from here or there.
It is to make it look natural. Unfortunately a lot of Bonsai enthusiasts do not have or have not seen the way tree's grow.
That might not be the right thing to say. What I am trying to say is the books tell us this is that style or this style.
I have seen the argument just recently, that there are not many cascade tree,s in the mountains of China or Japan. As tree's grow upwards searching for light. In deed when I see pictures of the mountains I see very few Cascades. Or semi cascades. T
hey are there though. As I have said before and will say again.
Some where in this great big Country of ours grows a tree that is the same as the pine the zelkova or the juniper, of the northern Hemisphere. Do we collect it !!!!( I have a scientific licence to collect )and then try to style it some other way because it reminds us to much of a Broom or Bunjingi or a cascade?.
We get back to what is Australian style?. Gum trees Paperbarks Morten bay figs any tree that is Australian is Australian style.
Just my 2 cents on it again
