Ignore the complaints about the quality of the sound or video and listen to the quality of the advice which is worth so much more, need more people and books teaching naturalistic bonsai styles vs predetermined "bonsai" styles, learn the techniques for sure but as he said "make your Bonsai look like trees" not the other way around, great talk, thanks for sharing.

@@W9SL9Y thank you for that. Totally agree.

I’ve been craving a video on building the core structure in a naturalistic manner. Thinking about these as informal brooms makes so much sense and is exactly the types of trees I’ve been wanting to develop to look like the mountain fall foliage of my childhood home. Thank you for sharing this treasure of a video.

@@ryanmulligan532 total agree with you and I wish I had this info sooner as well.

Great video and content. Doesn’t only apply for Australian natives in my opinion. Thank you for posting this ! I’m a huge fan of the naturalistic style. 😊

Great video and lecture! Im glad i seen this how to style deciduous material early on in my journey. I style all my deciduous trees this way. That slide of all the deciduous styles is soo valuable. Let the conifers be conifers and deciduous be deciduous😂. Its tough cause we always stick to having everything be pads . I think the hardest selection of branch removal is to not have too many crossing branches as u go up the the tree but thats impossible cause every branch is crossing each other as the tree ramifies into that shape. Great demo and a well needed teaching on styling deciduous trees

Fantastic presentation! Wish I was present.

@@simonbergagna it’s was awesome!!

Thanks for posting mate got this book recently 👍

Thank you so much for sharing this vid!!. For me, this was the best explanation on styling deciduous trees I've seen - completely relatable and practical! Best of all, it works for Canadian trees too!! Will definitely look for Stephen's books online,

Wow thanks for sharing David. So much to learn and to take in. Will watch this one again!

That was excellent!! Thanks for posting. I emailed Stephen and bought the book before the end of the video. I can’t wait to read it.

👍👌🙂❤🍎

Thanks. Just starting my bonsai journey (now 2 years). Felt uncomfortable with the traditional styling of bonsai - looked unnatural. Stephen Callum’s approach makes total sense to me.

The audio is so poor that it is very hard to understand, unfortunately
