Forest Bonsai style
Yose-ue The forest style looks a lot
like the multi-trunk style, but the
difference is that it is comprised of
several trees rather than one tree
with several trunks. The most
developed trees are planted in the
middle of a large and shallow pot.
The trees are planted not in a
straight line but in a staggered
pattern, because this way the forest
will appear more realistic and
natural.
Growing on a rock Bonsai style
Seki-joju On rocky terrain, trees are
forced to search for nutrient rich
soil with their roots, which can
often be found in cracks and
holes. The roots are unprotected
before they reach the ground so
they must protect themselves from
the sun: a special bark grows
around them. With Bonsai the
roots grow over a rock into the pot.
