The Wild Style Bonsai
In this variety, the Bonsai is grown in real natural styles withstanding the
elements like wind force. The tilting occurs during the formative years and it
is then articulated with wiring technique to give the trunk an aesthetically
intriguing, even amusing form.
The Miniature style Bonsai
In this variety, the growth of the branch spreads sideways rather than upwards,
often leaning lower than the base of the pot, as if to caress the ground.
The trunk is slender, giving the feeling of a cascading rivulet gushing down a ravine.
The Normal style Bonsai
This variety is much like the cascade, except that the trunk does not bend lower
than the base of the container. It is like the trees hanging out precariously from
the cliff tops and ravine edges. The orientation of the branch is strongly horizontal.
