Oh, by the way; I do not agree that beech bonsai need to be big (At least, not more than any other bonsai; I do prefer bigger sized bonsai in general ; I only keep a few shohin myself). Have a look at this shohin by bobbylan in the UK:


I also dissagree that beech bonsai needs to be big. I do prefere big trees in general. My garden is to big to fill with small Ones. Althou, nice shohin!

You confuse me. Why did you then earlier say that they should be big?

By now you should have read my post more than one time. It should then be clear that i never wrote (nor say) that a beech bonsai should be big.

Not to stir it, but it’s in message 57405:

Beech makes Good bonsai. But best as bigger bonsai. Omono or bigger.


May not be what you meant to mean, I give you that.
Happens a lot, particularly when one is not a native speaker (and i include myself here)...

But if you keep saying you never said it, it is indeed confusing...

I read it before responding. Must be a language thingy. You did write beeches are best as bigger bonsai. Omono size even, which is four-hand bonsai - two people needed to carry it - so much bigger than the example I posted.
