As for quality bonsai (the best examples in the world), I think they've hit the end of the road for refinement and design. All that is left for further refinement, IMO, will come through the discovery/creation/modification of new techniques that might make some more evocative forms possible.

As for bonsai in the U.S., have a look at Japanese bonsai in the late 1800's. That's where I think the general future of American bonsai lies.

Kind regards,
