RULES SCHMOULES, ( is that a word), rules are meant to be broken. More and more people are now calling them " guide lines". More important, IMO, are things like nebari and trunk diameter to tree height ratios, ramification and leaf reduction. Also, I'm reminded of something John Naka said, " it's better to make your bonsai look like a tree than your tree look like a bonsai." That one statement carries a lot of weight with me. Larry
