bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - I can't fight this "japanese styling" feeling...

[ I just fear, that without specific guidelines, my "wilder" trees, the ones that don't seem to fit any one style will still look like they do now in 10 years. They may all look like some new style I invented, and I'm no Chinese scholar.
Sorry this is so long...Will someone hit me over the head with a chopstick and clarify this for me?[/QUOTE]
Not to worry as long as the trunk is enormous and the branches are tiny and some what organized.

I see nothing wrong with creative design esp if it suites the species of tree your working with. Just make sure the trunk is...did I already mention the trunk size?
