I am wondering about the standard rules from branch placement on cascades. On regular (upright) bonsai you often aim for (for instance) left, right, back and so on in a spiral up the trunk to the beginning of the apex. I have looked at a number of pictures of cascades and it seems that the branch placement is like this: left, top, right and so on. No branches facing directly down. The apex is formed just left and right. (hope you understand what I mean) Have I understood it correctly? Cheers /Martin __________________ Happy beginner

The lowering branch becomes a tree within the tree. __________________ peace, tom stoute http://bonsaiinsights.spaces.live.com/
