Early SUMMER in VIETNAM & Updating some tree in my garden :D

Hi all,
This season, it's rain very much, so that the tree are growing strongly. I were took some picture of my bonsai trees and would like to introduce to you. Hope to receive many your comments!
Thanks alots!

Welcome and thanks for sharing. One of the best things about this forum is that people from around the world share. Your trees are restful and interesting, as are the pots. What species are the trees?

Dear DougB,
In my ideal, the special of tree is not as important as style it took because style are common character communicate Bonsai and people in many country in the world.
Special of these mentioned above bonsai is same as Chinese elm. The size of leaf can be reduced considerable by cutting leaf in important time in year.

Would you mind help me to define the style of these bonsai? Please.

Hi Natureini,

It's difficult to name a style for these bonsai: our definitions are mainly based on the norms established by the Japanese.

The first one could be referred to as "moyogi", the second one has a "literati" feel (bunjin-gi), the third one would be a "broom" (hokidachi), but south-eastern Asian countries where the climate is sub-tropical grow species that are not common in Japan and have developped their own styles.

For instance, there's a great site for Chinese bonsai, there are many illustrations but I can't read Chinese so I bookmarked the English translation:

On Wikipedia, there is also a page on Chinese penjing (with a link to the page in Tiếng Việt):

English : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penjing#Styles
Tiếng Việt : https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B2n_non_b%E1%BB%99

Still on Wikipedia, there is a page on "traditional" (=Japanese) bonsai styles:

Hope this helps,

A.K.
