[IBC] Trunks - to chop or not to chop
As a beginner in the art of bonsai, I would like some feedback
on cutting the trunks of trees. GoTo: www.evergreengardenworks.com and check out the articles there. There's at least one article on trunk chops and making taper.

[IBC] Trunks - to chop or not to chop
Hi James. You write,
As a beginner in the art of bonsai, I would like some feedback on cutting the trunks of trees. ...SNIP re' 'how I imagine it to be'.... As a novice, with absolutely no prior gardening or horticultural experience, I admit I have much to learn and that it is a bit presumtuous of me to assume I am right in this, and that I may be wrong. Any and all replies or responses will be greatly appreciated, I may be a bit of a smarty pants, but I'm keen to learn. Nice bit of persuasive writing. Makes others want you to see clearly the pros & cons for trunk chopping. Jim Lewis's pointer to Brent Walston's article on using trunk chopping to advantage is about as good as bonsai advice ever gets. I wish there was as good an explaination for avoiding chopping to raise elegant, graceful bonsai tree forms-- perhaps someone knows a source. Brent is in a class shared by few in describing horticulture & design decisions with clarity... and he publishes these to the IBC and posts them on his website generously. Folks on the mail list have opportunity to grow in many ways. Learning a little from your writing style, from Brent's bonsai knowledge and clarity, from Jim's tireless efforts to see everyone gets an answer. Best wishes, Chris...
