But you understand there is some people that think its beautifu and fun to do, right?
There is alot of bonsais that dont look 100% like natural miniature trees(but is beautiful anyway), .....
Walk around in some old forests and look at the trees and you see some very peculiar looking trees. I found one once with the trunk making a loop. I have a video somewhere where I followed the top of the tree down to the base, then followed one root about twenty feet - six meters, down to a pond. There was a spruce (I think) shorter than me with branches on one side shorter than my finger and branches on the other side 27 feet - 8 or so meters.
The bonsais that look strange do, but that is because 90% of trees in the woods grow straight up and you can make an upright bonsai, but it doesn't look very interesting.
