What are the common types of pine bonsai? A roundup of the latest varieties

Forest style (suitable for Buddhist pine):

Its shape is just like its name - it is not a bonsai made up of one pine tree, but several together, just like a whole forest, with a particularly strong sense of layering.

Slanting trunk style:

The trunk is slanted, and the tree's branches extend outside the pot, like a leaning mountain peak.

Horizontal trunk style (suitable for needle juniper and Buddhist pine):

The horizontal trunk style is also divided into three kinds - semi-horizontal, supine, and fully horizontal - each with a distinctive feel.

Cliff style (suitable for needle juniper):

The cliff style is also divided into two kinds, the large cliff style and the semi-cliff style; but the cliff style's shape is that the trunk hangs outside the pot, and the branches grow in a downward-drooping manner, but the drooping height must not go below the top rim of the flower pot.

Exposed root style:

Friends may not quite understand this one - it simply means exposing the tree roots on the outside, but the exposed root style has a rather noble and elegant feel, and many people are especially fond of this one.

Split trunk style:

The split trunk style has to form naturally over many years, and then people prune it. This is also the rarest kind, and it looks extremely ancient and vigorous. So many bonsai enthusiasts hope to discover such a pine tree deep in the forest.

Epiphytic style:

This kind is a little bit the same as the split trunk style, in that both have deadwood, but it keeps only a portion for the branches to cling to and survive on.
