Just Wondering
I have been looking for a new project to start. I am wanting to try my hand at a wind swept tree. What is the best type of tree for this particular style? I am in Texas zone 8.

Very tough to do. I would use a tree that will grow in your area first. Then look for one that has most of its branches growing from one side.

It is true that making an effective, realistic windswept tree is among the more difficult bonsai tasks, those pics sshould tell you it is possible -- and give you a sense of which plants to choose. BUT, if you choose a broad leafed plant (evergreen or deciduous) chose one whose leaves do not have long petioles.
