[IBC] On the bushy appearance of Japanese Bonsai-at times.
Good Day to All,
Hmmm,I hope I can state this clearly. In my search for species of tree or shrub that could densify through well placed branchlet or leaf and at the same time look like a miniature tree[if a big tree were hit with a shrinking ray and I am not touching on the more complex ideas of sculpture or philosophy in Bonsai/Penjing.] I noted that often apart from the outline of a tree the exterior mass also has dips [valleys]and mounds[hills],so there is movement in the leafy green canopy.Seen easily in a mature mango tree. So if you wanted to go past the 1,2,3 of branch placement and cloud like foliage pads or domes, the above would be the next step. This is where the bushy appearance comes in. Only a bushy bonsai can do this,but it requires more pruning and awareness of design to do this. Just a raw idea I trying to pass on. Apologies if I have once again confused the group.
