i know this sounds tedious but if it gives me a better understanding of not only penjing but bonsai then it is well worth it!
plus it will give us all a bit more to talk about on this topic

Re: Rules were meant to be broken
Even if I had the same teachers of this man I feel I would rather be in my position of being free to use all aspects of Bonsai and Penjing designThe Lingnan School teaches that all tree's are shaped by clip and grow. I have met a Chinese man who studied in that school. Or so he told me, he even showed me some tree's he had to leave in China when he left!!!.
His comment was tree's should only be trained in this way or they are not natural.
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: Rules were meant to be broken
This quote has me seriously considering buying Robert Steven's Book. Vision of my soul.
It seems he is saying Bonsai has one line. Can anyone explain what he means here?If you go through my book, you will find that I talk a lot on lines as one of the instruments to create good bonsai. And literati is the only style in bonsai that we can and we should combine different lines’ character to create the flow in harmony.

Re: Rules were meant to be broken
Brett I can't explain what he means by one line and two lines as I have not read his book.
I have however a tree that I collected that breaks the rules as they are written. It is one that was separated and made into 3 tree's.
Here are two pics of it one from the front and one from the side. I will not be changing it. You are welcome to analyse it though. Ps Mrs Pup bought Roberts book before we went on our trip I have read bits of it. I will have to find time to read it proper.
