Glenn Hilton, president of the Bonsai Society of Miami, co-owner of Miami Bonsai Specialist, and horticulture specialist presents BONSAI: The Art of Growing and Keeping Miniature Trees.
February's focus is bald cypress trained in the formal upright style.
In the formal upright style, the trunk of the tree is absolutely straight rising vertically out of the ground from a radial root system. The trunk should then taper very gradually from the base all the way up the tree.
We recommend you sign up for upcoming programs to learn about different styles of bonsai and get additional hands-on experience working on trees.
