For myself I am pro nebari, I think that it should start with seedlings and cuttings even root cuttings and airlayerings and then be continusly develiped for the life of your tree. If you do this there is a good chance that you will eventually end up with something that looks alot like the maple that was posted earlyer in this thread.
If you learn to create and keep alive a thick fibrous root structure, you will be able to keep your trees in much shallower pots. Masive amounts of rootlets encourages many buds, plus strength and vigor. (I am beganing to sound like a superthrive comertial) This will also result in good nebari.
I go to great lengths to incourage rootlets on all of my trees.
