Jin-apex
I recently bougth a Pinus Nigra. (I hope a can upload the pictures if I find the camera cable) I made 2 draws of the posible future of my tree.
In draw "A" you can see that the Jin is taller than the apex. In this draw (I Think) the bonsai looks older, and the jin is the main atraction of the Bonsai. In Draw "B" the tree is taller than the Jin, this suggests that the tree is younger and the main object is the tree instead of the jin. When I see both, I can't decide wich one is better. What do you think?? What do you think that "A" sugest?? Strongnest, a very old tree or whatever?? What do you think that "B" sugest?? This is Draw "A": |

I think "A" as well the higher jin gives the impression of age and is a focal point

As I understand "the rules", either is perfectly legitimate with the two apex's being approximately even the route to be avoided.
Neither of these two drawings look particularly distinguished (see what an excellent parrot I am!) but, I'd say the issue is, what will the tree look like in ten years. With that in mind, you may want the deciding factor to be, how tall do you want this tree to be ultimately. Best Regards, Fred |
