Is literati (bunjin) a style strictly reserved for conifers or can it be applied to deciduous trees? Thanks in advance. Jorge __________________ "Always acknowledge a fault.

Personally I think as long as you like what the tree looks like then it really does not matter. - Misspeled_Name __________________ "When practicing the art of bonsai, Not only are you growing a tree, but the tree is growing you" - $h@rKByte - CONSTRUCTION (!UNDER CONSTRUCTION!)

Also you can get away with using younger trees in this style. Keep swinging! __________________ Best regards Zoot 'You got to be original, man...' Lester Young 1909-1959

I'm in the process of trying to create Literati forms for both a Eucalyptus polyanthemos and a Melaleuca linariifolia. While neither tree is deciduous, they are also not conifers. I hope to show my progress soon. Thanks. FlyBri. __________________ Australian Native Plants as Bonsai Study Group ANPB Galleries --- rrr.org.au - Support Free-Range Radio
