Yes. Just heard Walter speak on that very subject. He finished up with a
dissertation on the American trends, but without even mentioning buttonwood.

Yes. This is the same -- or very much the same -- article
Walter did for one of the bonsai magazines in 2 or 3 parts (ABS
Journal, I think) after trying it out on us in the gallery over
the course of several weeks.

It is a very good essay on the art of bonsai and I agree with
much more of it than I disagree with -- FWIW.

I do not know the european name for the buttonwood..
Theo,
it is platanus occidentalis ( platano americano)

A common error. This is why we have botanical names. I was referring to Florida
buttonwood, Conocarpus erectus. It is God's gift to American bonsai, equal to
anything the mountains of China or Japan can produce. Sadly, it is little known
in Europe, although it would probably be easy to grow in the Mediterranean
countries. The problem is that you can't grow one from seed or cuttings, since
its whole appeal is the deadwood. They are collected, which makes them very
expensive.
Actually, Platanus occidentalis, which we call sycamore, is not particularly
suited for bonsai. The leaves are way too big.
