bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Your Opinion of sumo style

Attila I agree to a large extent but when I look at the tree Mike posted above I see a tree that was zapped by lightning and is re-growing. And in the first picture of TreeBeards nice set of pics, it's seems as though the tree is huge and old, but appears to have small branches, and I would imagine it is recovering from a natural disaster. Maybe age? I haven't seen many that I appreciate so I voted 'other'. Some of the sumo style bonsai I have seen looked like potatoes with the eyes sprouting. JMO
