Five Main Styles Of Bonsai Trees
from:Bonsai trees are a long standing art form that originated from China and was later revolutionized in Japan. The idea of such trees is to make miniature version of the larger ones. There is a certain meditative quality that goes with taking care of bonsai trees which many bonsai enthusiasts appreciate.
Formal Upright and Informal Upright Bonsai Trees
The formal upright bonsai trees are designed to have an even form which tapers from the base of the branches to a gradual point at the apex. This bonsai design has several requirements for its tree. Although the design looks quite easy, the tree trunk should have a straight quality which tapers from the bottom part of the plant going up. The more commonly used trees for this type of main bonsai design are spruces, junipers and pines. Other options are maples and larches. Trees that bear fruit are not good choices for this type of bonsai tree design.
The informal upright design follows the basic premise of the formal bonsai plant which is the taper from the bottom part of the plant up to the apex but the deviation in the design is in the way that the branches are trained. Trees made into bonsai of this nature should not have any branches pointing to the viewer when viewed from the front.
Slanting Bonsai Trees
Conifer trees are great for this design. The overall concept of the slanting bonsai trees is to create an effect trees which have been blown to one side by the strong wind as they were growing or trees which were forced to lean to one side as they were growing due to a certain lack of sunlight. Although the concept is basically simple, coaxing the bonsai to lean to one side needs a lot of training.
Cascading And Semi-Cascading Bonsai Trees
In this bonsai trees design, the trees are encouraged to grow downwards instead of growing upwards as those of the upright designs and the slanting designs. The difference between the two designs is in how far the cascade goes. In the cascading bonsai trees, the tip off the tree should cascade well below the base of the bonsai pot or container, whereas, the semi cascading bonsai should not go below the base of the container or pot it is in. The use of a deep pot is encouraged and preferred to be better able to showcase the design of the bonsai trees.
