INTERNATIONAL BONSAI ACADEMY with Walter Pall
Sometimes I think Walter's unique family has caught up with him
But I would still sit in the front row in his class room

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: INTERNATIONAL BONSAI ACADEMY with Walter Pall
It is always great watching Walter but I have to say for a bonsai Academy that is meant to be an advanced class. After 7 videos the only thing I have learnt is that a too large nebari can be offset by a large crown and I think I kinda knew even that already?
Oh and that large nebari are now out of fashion
Looks like Sebastian is getting ready for when shohin are out of fashion.
Does anyone have oriental hornbeam. I do

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be like water, my friend.”

Re: INTERNATIONAL BONSAI ACADEMY with Walter Pall
I was wondering about trident maples' large nebari and fashion also. I am not sure about fashion, but I could never understand the rationality behind massive and short trident maples' bonsai.
I have seen suburban trident maples' with large surface roots like that. But they are also very tall, and slender and old, and with a equally impressive apex to match. That is, naturalistic?
