Hello people. This topic is just a trivial question and chat:
What is your favourite bonsai style and species to go with that style?
Just a question chat type thing.

Any style can be beautiful, different styles suit different trees better.
Different sizes, different trees, different styles... so many options that it makes it hard to choose.
One of my favorite trees was a small ulmus - that did not follow the rules.
The trunk was near perfect, but the branches were a mixture of broom- and informal upright style. And it worked, the result was great.
If I really must pick one style, one that I admire the most, as it seems very simple, but is surprisingly difficult, to create a convincing tree in this style, would be literati. Juniper or Pine, of course.

Cool
I quite like literati, i mean, the dimentions and size of the foliage compared to the rest of the trunk really does make it look ancient, and you think that the tree has been through a lot in order to get that "tall". Braking/bending the rules in some ways i guess can be very artistic to a tree. I love elms, i have only had one since, and i still love them, the thing is that there are hardly any elms in britain in the wild or even in a nursery for that matter. Definitely, diffeent tree suits different styles. My favourite is very simple, informal upright. The tree i think would go with the style would be silver birch. It seemed really effective when i saw it at capel manor.
