Well, than lets celebrate every bulge! After all, they are all created by nature, regardless whether they grew high up the mountain or in my backyard.
When I grow my material from a seedling and work on it for decades to develop age and character, leaving some decisions to the tree itself and to the whims of randomness, buldges will inevitably develop.
Why would I give the mountain yamadory a free ride while I would rigorously remove every perceived "fault" from my garden yamadori? Sensing a double standard here?
Disclaimer: I don't dispute the value in Marco's comment, so don't take this post too seriously. I am just trying to have some fun by applying logic and rationality equally to all bonsai.
