How to Make a Bonsai Pinoy Style (Part 2)
Here is part 2 of our How to Make a Bonsai Pinoy Style series. Although the content of this post is also available via Bonsai Institute of the Philippines FB page, I thought I’d share it to reach and benefit a more audience who are looking to learn more about their passion for bonsai. Part 2 or Chapter 2 of Sir Nolan’s HOW TO MAKE A BONSAI TREE talks about sizes with a big consideration of our county’s type of climate.
CHAPTER 2: RECOMMENDED BONSAI SIZES FOR TROPICAL TREES
By Nolan Sison
Bonsai is about balance, aesthetics, and proportion. I will focus on proportion here as it is a common mistake of beginners to choose big-leafed trees as their small bonsai.
Remember this! AS YOUR LEAVES GET BIGGER, YOUR TREE (AS A WHOLE) GETS SMALLER IN PERCEPTION. A big-leafed mango tree doesn’t look right if the bonsai size is small or medium.
A mame (6-in and below) bougainvillea will look like an ordinary ornamental plant, while a premna Taiwan mame will look like a magnificent tall and old tree. The size of the leaves will heavily influence the viewers’ perception of tree size.
For winter presentation (defoliated), all bonsai species are applicable in any size.
The following is a list of tropical bonsai’s common names (Philippine common names) and their recommended sizes in the summer presentation:
(MAME = 6 in. and below; SMALL = 1 ft. and below; MEDIUM = 2 ft. and below; LARGE = 3 ft or 1 meter and below)
