Hi Chris,
I have seen quite a number of trees classified as formal upright where the trunk is not straight like an arrow. In fact, Charle Ceronio, in his book "Bonsai Styles of the World, and also Walter P. in one of his critiques on this forum said that the trunk can have very small movements.
I think the i
mpression of a straight trunk is what really matters. I actually prefer those little movements, they make the tree look more natural. But that's a matter of preference.
Regards,
Attila
