Mugo Pine Project Number Three
Here is a mugo pine which I have had since quite a while. The wire was taken off this spring and it looks a bit sad.

Walter,
As usual, an excellent result. It seems to my eye that when styling deciduous trees, you lean toward the naturalistic forms, and when styling conifers, more traditional forms. Do you feel this assessment is correct? With Appreciation, David

David,
assessment correct. The traditional bonsai rules tell you how to style a tree to look like a conifer, a pine tree to be specific. No wonder my pine trees look like traditional bonsai. Nothing wrong with that. best regards Walter Pall |

Walter,
"Nothing wrong with that". Absolutely not! Especially when the results are as beautiful as the examples you regularly display. The question comes from the fact that almost all of my work to this point (mostly small junipers) end up looking like bonsai rather than trees. It seems the trick of great bonsai (the one's that really capture my imagination, anyhow) is to be as naturalistic as possible while remaining "inside the lines" of classically balanced composition. Thanks again for the insight and inspiration. David

Another wonderful tree.
I noticed when walter came to our club he talked a lot about the naturalistic style and about how bonsai shouldnt be limited to that traditional stuff. I am guessing you really like natural styles?
