Types Of Bonsai Trees To Choose From
from:Bonsai trees look just like tiny versions of bigger trees, which are shaped into lots of different shapes and style forms. Most types of Bonsai trees are a unique addition to your home and will be the envy of your friends. Different types of bonsai trees have different styles to enhance the beauty of the trees, and its important that the containers and pots in which they are planted must also be in keeping with the size and style of the bonsai itself.
Variations of Bonsai Trees
Different types of bonsai trees are categorized in different styles. The styles are windswept, slant, semi cascade, cascade, informal upright and formal upright; and you will find different types of bonsai trees available in these styles for shaping, training or forming.
The formal upright style is where the trunk of the tree is straight upwards and the first lower branches are far wider than the rest. The next branches are slightly narrower than the first. The preceding branches then carry on upwards each becoming slightly narrower than the last until anoverall triangular appearance for the tree is achieved. This is the best shape for new starters to practice with, and the trees that lend themselves to this style are Pine, Larch, Juniper and Spruce.
Tree Species Which Help To Form Bonsai Plants
Two other types of bonsai trees formation are the informal upright and the slant style.
The informal upright style lends the tree to an impression of motion, and the top branch needs to be extended forward instead of upwards.
The slant style is the most common and one of the easiest to train. In this case the tree trunk extends to one direction while the lowest branch extends to the other.
The style of informal upright types of bonsai trees is most suitable for Beech, Japanese Maple and Trident Maple trees, whereas the slant style can be done on almost any bonsai trees.
Other types of bonsai trees styles are the cascade and the semi cascade. The cascade types of bonsai trees are those that have a sloping effect. The trunk is vertical and then is turned to one direction while the branches are trained to slope or cascade lower than the surface of the pot. The semi cascade is similar to the cascade except the trunk gradually slopes instead of turns to one direction.
The windswept style looks like the bonsai tree has been beset by strong winds. It looks a bit unruly and beautifully unkempt. These are most of the common styles that bonsai plants are usually trained to be. These styles and types have been practiced for centuries as an art form and will grace any home with their unique appearance.
