Guelder Rose Viburnum opulus

I just saw some pics of this as a bonsai and find it hard to believe how good it looks,since as a landscape plant these seem to be big overgrown shrubs with ram rod straight stems and huge internodes.
Anyone with care or training tips, I'd love to hear more!

Viburnum opulus

Here in France, the most common species is called "Snowball" because of its round grapes of white flowers. This type is probably very difficult to cultivate as a bonsai if you are interested in the flowers (too big)
I trained a seedling of the wild species which is very frequent in the woods around where I live because of the colour of the leaves in autumn. You can see the page here :
http://site.voila.fr/babadubonsai/d...m/viburnum.html (in French, but there are somme pics that pop up when you put your cursor on the links)
Nothing to do with the yamadoris I can see on the various forums I read, and even less with the masterpieces at Kokufu, but i do have pleasure in seeing the colours change through the seasons...
