INTERNATIONAL BONSAI ACADEMY with Walter Pall

Post by Bretts »

Sometimes I think Walter's unique family has caught up with him :shock: But I would still sit in the front row in his class room :D

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.

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 :D
Looks like Sebastian is getting ready for when shohin are out of fashion.

Does anyone have oriental hornbeam. I do :tounge: :lol: :lol:

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?
