Twin Trunk variation Hawthorn by Harry Harrington
This is a difficult variation to use convincingly. There must be a noticeable

difference in diameter or age of the main trunk, the sub-trunk and the branches.
Thin-trunked trees are not suitable.
Multiple Trunk Forms
A multi-trunked bonsai should have three or more odd-numbered trunks
growing from the same root base. All the trunks should vary in height and
accordingly girth. As with a twin-trunk the branches should grow outwards into
the light and create an overall triangular shape and composite crown.
