sounds like a clump to me, or do you mean separate trees?

I'm asking about it cause I have recently made a trunk chop of the ligustrum. I would like to create a broom with the new shoots from the twin-trunk. Here's a picture how it looks like a month after it was choped.
I'm planning to reduce the shoots to 1-2 pair of leaves in the spring 2005 and create a broom. But i still wonder if there is another style adequate to this tree. Pls have a look at the picture although the trunks are hidden beside the big leaves. blofeld |

I was just reading about that Double Trunk style this evening. The illustration that I saw was of a tree that looked more like it's trunk was split at a Y section in its to main branches.
I think the book was called Surving Bonsai or Bonsai Survival...something like that. I kinda like that idea. But it seems to me, correct me if I'm wrong, that this style along with a few others this book mentioned are not traditional bonsai styles. It seemed to me that if a tree had a bend in the trunk then the book said it was in the "bent trunk style." Sounded kinda made up to me. Haven't seen these terms anywhere else except for in this book and on your post tonight. |

A double trunk or multi trunk usually starts from the lower part of the trunk or ground. A "Y" is generally considered not good composition, and some sarcastically call it the "slingshot style".
A double trunk can be part of the same canopy similar to a broom, look at pictures of ficus clumps to get an idea.

Dipp,
That tree in the photo looks more like two seperate trees planted close together and trained into a broom. I believe a TRUE double trunk is actually one tree wich Y's out but the Y is not because of branches, it is becuase the trunk splits at the roots. Kinda like a conjoined twin for lack of a better term. |
