The PomPom "style" was mentioned. Just so there's no misunderstanding... there is no PomPom Bonsai Style.

You could do yourself a great favor Steve, if you would join a bonsai club, and hook up with somebody who has experience keeping bonsai in your local geographical area. That, and bonsaiTALK will help you get off to a very good start.

So, always remember that bonsai is a trip that demands time and patience. Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

Pat has great advice - especially about joining a club.

I would agree that it is a misnomer to name bonsai Pom Pom as a classical Japanese or Chinese bonsai style. I suppose we should consider it more a form of topiary or "Cloud pruning".
