Hey,
I posted this at another site (in case it looks familiar), but just found out about bonsai talk today so I thought i'd ask here as well
. Anyway...
I was wondering what some people consider a good canditate for a relatively small (7-10") deciduous 'Chokkan'/'Formal upright' bonsai. I'm looking to create a bonsai that imitates something along these lines:
Tall Tree
Tall Tree 2
So...something with a somewhat bare trunk with top heavy foliage. I'm not opposed to a coniferous type tree if it works well. But I'd prefer deciduous/tropical if possible. Any thoughts on good species?
(I was also informed that what I'm looking for is really more of a 'broom' style than formal upright. I definitely want more of a bare trunk than tapered foliage. I almost wonder if what i'm looking for would lean toward a literati style. i.e. tall and lean with foliage at the top)
Thanks for any feedback.
