Bonsai styles

What style of bonsai tree do you like best? Below you are sure to find one you like, because there are all kinds of styles!

1. Broom-style bonsai

The broom-style bonsai tree below is a deciduous bonsai tree. Its branches and leaves are dense, and it grows like a mushroom.

There are also evergreen varieties like the ones below, all with lush branches.

2. Formal upright bonsai

Formal upright bonsai trees grow straight upward. The common dawn redwood bonsai is the best example. This type looks rather garden-like, and its form is layered, feeling like an obelisk.

3. Informal upright bonsai

Informal upright bonsai trees grow upright, but the trunk may bend a little. However, it cannot be called a slanting-style bonsai tree either, so let us just call it this.

4. Slanting-style bonsai tree

This is a slanting bonsai tree. When growing, it leans in one direction, but it does not feel like it was blown crooked by the wind. Instead, it is very natural.

5. Cascade-style bonsai

Cascade-style bonsai trees are a kind of bonsai tree that grows curved. Its branches and trunk grow downward, giving the feeling of growing on the edge of a cliff, and they all need to be placed on tall stands.

6. Semi-cascade bonsai

The trunk of this type of bonsai bends, then grows sideways from the middle part of the trunk, and then grows outward parallel to the pot. It is still very different from the cascade-style bonsai trees above.

7. Literati bonsai

This style looks very elegant and refined. The lower part of its trunk is completely bare, with growth only remaining at the top, but the top is very lush, giving a strong sense of the lofty integrity of a literati scholar.

8. Windswept bonsai

It looks like a bonsai being blown by sea breeze, seeming like a slanting bonsai fluttering in the wind. Apart from the branches, its leaves all grow on one side, giving it an appearance like a sailboat.

9. Double-trunk bonsai

Double-trunk bonsai is made up of two trunks. It splits into two main branches from the main trunk upward, which is quite interesting.

10. Multi-trunk bonsai

Multi-trunk bonsai has multiple trunks (more than three), continuously branching from the lower main trunk. It is commonly seen in banyan bonsai because it has many aerial roots.

11. Forest-style bonsai

A very garden-like forest-style bonsai tree. This kind of bonsai is composed of several bonsai trees combined together, each with an independent trunk, forming a forest-like feeling.

12. Root-over-rock bonsai

The bonsai trees below are all clinging to rocks, with their roots growing in the soil on the rocks. This looks very much like the style of traditional landscape painting, and also has a very natural charm.

13. Bonsai growing on rocks

This is a bonsai tree growing on rocks, and their roots also extend into the cracks in the rocks. This is a strange sight that appears as plants absorb nutrients. Flower lovers all tend to prefer this type of bonsai, but its price is also relatively expensive.
