    Windswept (Fukinagashi)

    Just imagine a tree being swept by a harsh wind and you’ll see the exact appearance of a windswept-styled bonsai. Yes, this form basically simulates the appearance of a tree being exposed to strong winds. So for this style, expect to see your bonsai with branches that appear swept to one particular angle and side. Note that of the styles available for bonsai, this is the most difficult to portray, though several beginners have started developing it simply for one main reason – the windswept form is dramatic.

    One important thing to note about this form is that the tree should be kept growing with all the branches facing at a particular angle. They should never be upright, but they may cascade.

    Recommended Species: As claimed by most experts, almost all types of plant species can be appropriate for this form.

    Recommended Techniques: Note that pruning, tapering, and wiring will help make your bonsai to imitate a windswept image.


    So those are the six basic styles of bonsai. You can try one or two of them if you want. But if you are just a beginner and you want to at least experience not much hassles that tray planting has to offer, then try doing the most basics of the six mentioned styles. The formal and informal upright forms can be your best bet.

    Note that there are a lot more forms available for your tiny wonders. Much of these forms, however, are a bit advanced. Thus, expect them to require the advanced techniques involved in bonsai planting or growing. The most possible advanced forms you may encounter along the way are the literati, twin trunk, multiple trunk, raft form, group planting, root over rock forms, candelabra, and a lot more. Each of these forms has its own characteristics and properties unique from those above mentioned styles.

    Whatever you may decide to develop, just make sure that you know how to take care of your bonsai. This is the only way to help keep your bonsai growing beautifully and healthy.
