    Informal Upright (Moyogi)

    Another easiest style to incorporate, the informal upright or Moyogi in Japanese is known specifically for its trunk that grows upward but bends to the right and left, forming an “S”. Yes, it has pronounced twists and bends, allowing the plant to emerge somewhat in motion, which in turn gives the bonsai the informality it deserves.

    Aside from the bending trunk of the informal upright bonsai, it is also noted specifically for its branches that grow from the outer side of the curves or bends. It may appear triangular in shape, especially if you’ll its silhouette, but this does not hold true at all times. One of the reasons for this is that there are informal uprights that grow a bit slanted. But one thing that sets this style apart from the others is that it never bends toward the viewer, especially when viewed in front.

    Recommended Species: For this style, you can take a Japanese maple, beech, trident maple, and all kinds of conifers. Some ornamental plants such as cotoneaster, crab apple, and pomegranate can also be used for this aim.

    Recommended Techniques: As with the case of formal uprights, the informal upright form of bonsai also requires tapering on the trunks. The main difference occurs though as with the direction of the trunk and branches in this style is positioned in an informal way, something similar to that of a tree that grows naturally exposed to all types of elements in nature at an early age. With this, the trunks curve and bend, while the branches grow in a way that they balance this bending effect. The tip of the tree must also be located up the bottom of the plant and should be filled with foliage.
