| I don't want to grow bonsai, but rather nawaki. But I'm not fond of the traditional 'cloud tree' nawaki. Any guidelines for how to grow bonsai style trees as nawaki? |

| Well, nawaki pretty much means cloud tree, so I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean tips on how to make a small bonsai style tree with the round cloud look? If so, you'd do it the same way you would on the larger garden tree, just on a smaller scale. |

| Nawaki is actually "garden tree" I find the 'cloud style too artificial, and way too time consuming to maintain. None of the trees I have native here ever look anything like that naturally. What I want is traditional bonsai informal styles in a tree with a 10-15 foot height. I live in a climate that potted plants outside are at risk, and in ground plants, of course, are difficult to root prune. |

Here's a niwaki type Picea pungens. I think they look great!  |

Not sure if this is what you have in mind, but here is a nice Pinus sylvestris.  |
