IN RESPECT FOR TONI! :| 8-) 8-) 8-)


Parla più piano e nessuno sentirà,
il nostro amore lo viviamo io e te,
nessuno sa la verità,
neppure il cielo che ci guarda da lassù.

Insieme a te io resterò,
amore mio, sempre così.

Parla più piano e vieni più vicino a me,
Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te,
nessuno sa la verità,
è un grande amore e mai più grande esisterà.

Insieme a te io resterò,
amore mio, sempre così.

Parla più piano e vieni più vicino a me,

Yep, as I thought, all small sumo style bonsai. all the same shape. very nice bonsai as it goes I like them a lot. but very unenspiring if that's all you got at a bonsai show.
I am a giant amongst my trees.

several actually and you will find some of them postede here Just like yours :-)

None of them will be anything like your 1:2 ( Height : across the Nebari ) but most will be at least 1:6 ( Height : Trunk Girth). You will even find a Formal upright in training that is more like 1:16
As I say, Just because one Demonstrator says it is so, Doesn't make it universally true.

Here is my Trident formal to be i a few years. The trunk base might get a bit thicker ( but not much) but it will not bet any shorter either.
The branches will I hope develop in a few years time to give a nice outline and I hope to see it in a show somewhere and have people admire it.

Personally I do not like trees that I class as Sumo, but prefer the more slender and elegant styles

Now I am confused like most others looking at this thread Ant

When I measure these tree in the this post i am replying to
I get the first tree you showed at about 1:5 Ratio, And the second is even taller at nearer to 1:6

These are measured from the widest point on the trunk above the Nebari, but even if you take them across the nebari at the soil level, they are 1:3 or bigger

Neither is anything like your 1:2 you mention so what is the point?

Most of the other trees you post in the next 2 posts are similar too. There are some Sumo style, not not many

You talked about everyone else is posting Jibberish. but whats with the Lyric Posts?
I did not know we had a song contest on at the moment! Eurovision finished on Sunday ya know :-)

See ya

Thats a beautiful tree ken no really i mean it. truly mate. im not kidding. I too cant stand sumo. even more when someone doesn't know the difference, :lol: :lol: :lol:
Dont be confused learn where to measure from. The feet not the ankles. They're are the achilles heal in the composition. The feet is where the stability comes from and therefor an important part of the equation. Now if you're still confused after this i cant help ya. You have to help your self or ask bretts and Chris rock. They're on to it!!! :? thats for sure! ;)

Come on Kenny sing along with TOM;


I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

(insert trumpet solo here)

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more


OH yeah baby shakn it down five minutes past midnight. 8-) 8-) 8-)

What do know??? all is calm this morning.



Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
