bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - A Question About Foliage Pads

Thanks Andy,

Could you please elaborate on how to go about making the secondary and tertiary branches grow downwards? I definitely agree that there needs to be foliage on top of the branch, but I would appreciate the balance caused by having it on the bottom and sides as well. Especially since my favorite tree right now is aiming for the downard "slide" of foliage. Not quite cascade, but a sliding scalene triangle, if you get my meaning.

Cheers
Mittar
