Style HOKI-ZUKURI
(Inverted Broom)
E-mail:
This to broom, as for the other styles, it is a form of tree that he/she is often seen in nature. The shut Zelkova and the Chinese elm are the most proper essences to realize this style in how much they produce a thin and delicate ramification that is appreciable especially in winter when the leaves are cadute.no quand they have to be conic bigger to the base and thinner to the extremity, without some sign of scars or other. The form of the head of hair is really that of an inverted broom because the branches are prepared to fan. The trunk has to be straight instead, without curves and conic, wide to the base and thin toward the apex. The roots have to radially develop himself/herself/themselves from the trunk. It is I obviate whether to get a perfect ramification needs to depart from plants young people even if many bonsaistis with alternative methods departing from adult samples they get some good results however, but never with the same perfection. One of these methods are the following: it is practised to a height of about three times the diameter of the trunk, a cut to V, not too much to the center so that to avoid in the future too much a symmetrical form. To wind with string the part where the cut is practised so it will be avoided that the so-called knots are formed. After one year they will sprout the new buds. In autumn they will shorten the new growths except a plant which will serve to balance the principal trunk which will thicken.
