How to design your bonsai apex. Bonsai For Beginners Episode 16.

Finding a proper apex is crucial on designing a bonsai. In this video, we take a procumbens nana juniper that would make a great cascade at first glance. What we want to challenge viewers in this video is that with every tree you work with, try to see if there are other potentials. Not that anything is wrong with a cascade, but sometimes you will pass up a tree at a nursery because you didn't spend time studying all the possibilities. There is never a "perfect" tree. Even the most perfect bonsai will experience criticism. If the style in this video isn't to your liking, that's perfectly fine. Remember, this isn't the only way or the best way. It is simply ONE way to approach this tree. Could this have been a better cascade? Possibly. However, Robert was able to find a new apex simply by looking at the tree differently.
