You certainly work outside of the conventional box Tony. Many would say that deciduous trees don't make good literati subjects and only pines and junipers are suitable. It's great to see that you don't subscribe to convention and do your own thing. It will be interesting to see the future outcome. I have just watched this morning, Peter Chan making a literati Scots Pine. It's worth a look. Take care mate.
@TheBonsaiGarden
@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад
I just rewatched that also. I do have a couple of larch and hawthorns that lend themselves towards literati style, though I might be inclined to agree that on the whole the style is more suited to pine and juniper rather than most deciduous species.

I suppose pines are a lot more flexible so it makes sense to use them, but I always used to set my computer games onto the hardest setting! I must be a masochist!

You've got some nice curves into those trees. Literati has something about it that I can't quite understand, but it looks good! Good on you for not following the rules - the trees have to give YOU enjoyment, not everyone else! Take care, thanks for the video.

Cheers mate. I don't think there's any point limiting ourselves to a certain type of bonsai, especially someone like me who is still learning. I love at the different aspects and the artistic side of literati looks wonderful when it's done well.

Hi Tony, right now im growing a sweet chestnut (castanea sativa) from seed in a pseudo-literati style and I made it really contorted at the base and it,s basically growing horizontal and circles it's self, and I noticed that it's leaves are very tiny but the growth itself is quite vigurous, I was wondering if massively bending seedling while they grow affects leaf size of if I just have a small leafed chestnut.
@TonysBonsai
@TonysBonsai Год назад
That sounds really interesting. I suspect that it is just dealing with the challenges of its life so far, and in time the leaves with get bigger. It is also possible that you happen to have a tree with a genetically small leaf size. I have an oak with really small leaves. It looks great, but it grows very slowly.

Nice trees. ! Heres a suggestion for the next challenge i wanna see how far everyone can push a juniper . I mean the hardest bends u have ever done. I wanna see trunks bent to the max! Prob go for shohin size or one bigger. Ive seen bonsai q do some really extreme bends where trunk comes back to touch the trunk again😂. Would love to see this as the next challenge
@TonysBonsai
@TonysBonsai Год назад
Hi Chris. Junipers are certainly very flexible, and I do love twisting and contorting them. I think they look amazing when done well. With a bit of luck some of the other channels will use junipers for this challenge.

@Tinoshke07
@Tinoshke07 Год назад
You would think that literati style is the easiest style to make cause you get a lot more' freedom' with what to do, but it's - in my opinion - the hardest to get right, there must be a certain balance and elegance to a literati bonsai or it doesn't look really like a literati. By the way, when garden designers use organic shapes, it means round(er) shapes, that's why organic shapes are seen more as feminine shapes while straight lines are seen as masculine.
@TonysBonsai
@TonysBonsai Год назад
Indeed, literati is certainly not an easy thing to do well, but the potential reward of a beautiful slender artistic tree is worth the effort I think.

@TonysBonsai Год назад
Hi Joe. I've been busy this past few days sorting out my back garden. It was completely crammed, so I've been laying some flags and sorting it out. I've also repotted at least 30 - 40 trees which was quite a grind. To be honest though this time of year is quiet in terms of video. Nothing is ready to prune and all the creative stuff is kind of done.

It varies from tree to tree, but I would say these will be having the wire removed in a few months time.
