Every hobby has its own terminology, and that of growing bonsai is no different. It is important to learn this terminology so that you can discuss you hobby intelligently with fellow enthusiasts. By terminology, I mean not only the English terms for various parts of the plant, but also the Japanese terms. It simply adds to the enjoyment of the hobby to be able to immerse yourself in the culture that gave birth to it.

Parts of the tree

These are pretty simple and self-explanatory. The bole of the tree is that part of the tree trunk that rises from the ground to the point where branches begin to grow off of it. The trunk is the entire body of the tree, distinct from its roots and branches. The crown is the top of the tree.

If you look at a cross-section of a tree trunk, you will see the dark outer covering which is the bark, a thicker inner covering called phloem, or inner bark, the cambium, which is "a cylindrical layer of tissue in the stems and roots of many seed-bearing plants, consisting of cells that divide rapidly to form new layers of tissue," and finally the wood itself.

Trees are either deciduous - shedding their leaves annually, or conifers - which do not shed their needles.

Extending from the branches are leaves, connected to the branch by the petiole, or stalk. The leaf proper is called the blade.

Okay, so much for the parts of the tree. Now let's learn about the types of bonsai tree design, and the terminology for the different sizes.

There is no one "bonsai tree." There are dozens of different kinds of trees that can be cultivated into proper bonsai. The design is the thing - the shape of the tree and its foliage, that distinguish a bonsai tree. There are many different styles for single trees, and different styles for groups of trees. I'll only cover the most popular.

Formal Upright Style - Chokkan

The trunk of the tiny tree grows straight up toward the sky, and the branches form a typical tree silhouette.

Informal Upright Style - Moyogi

The trunk isn't perfect, it's been shaped by wind, shade, competition for light and moisture, it looks like it's put up a fight to survive.

Semicascade Style - Han - Kengai

This style emulates the look of of waterside trees, with the trunk canted over as if it were reaching toward the water...but can't quite make it.

Cascade Style - Kengai

The semicascade is meant to evoke reaching towards water, the cascade style evokes a tree growing on a mountainside...the trunk of the tree is trained of downward below the level of the container.

Literati Style - Bunjinji

Similar to the Informal Upright Style, in this style the long trunk line "flows and twists" upward, with a crown only at the very top of the tree.

Slanting Style - Fukinagashi

Also known as the Windblown style. The trunk leans in one direction, either at a slight or a sharp angle, and all of the branches face in the same way the trunk leans.

Root-Over-Rock Style - Ishitzuki

Made to resemble trees on rocky ledges that have had to send roots down a mighty long ways to find nourishing soil.

Straight Line Style, or Raft Style - Ikada Buki

A tree falls over, but instead of dying sends up branches vertically toward the sun...which become trunks.

Most bonsai consist of a single tree in a container, but there is also a design for simulating forests. This is the Yose Ue style - two or moire trees in one container.

Size Matters

In bonsai, there are terms for the different sizes of the bonsai.

Tiny bonsai is called Mame. These are further divided into two sizes. Keshi-tsubu is up to one inch tall. Shito is from one inch to three inches tall.

Small bonsai is called Shohin. These are subdivided into three sizes. Gafu is from five inches to eight inches tall, Komono are grown up to seven inches, and Myabi are grown from six inches to ten inches tall.

Kifu is the term for medium bonsai, and again it is divided into two classes. Katade-mochi is grown up to 16 inches in height, Chuhin is grown up to 24 inches.

And finally, we have large bonsai, or Daiza. Of these, Omono are grown up to 47 inches, or almost four feet, while Bonju are over three feet tall.

Those numbers are approximate, however, Different schools of bonsai give measurements differently, but at least you've got an approximate idea of the sizes considered.

The bonsai containers also have their specialist names. One design feature that they will practically all have is little feet, to lift t hem off the ground and promote drainage - very important in bonsai.

Advantages of Snow Blower

Now day’s snow throwers are used to make the work easy and simple while there is a heavy snowfall. Snow throwers provide great help to those people whose physical condition is not very good. Mainly there are two types of Snow Throwers available in the market. If you live in an area which gets a great deal of snow, you probably own a snow shovel and get a lot of exercise shoveling all that beautiful white stuff off your sidewalks. If you're fit, then certainly you'll have no problem with that shoveling...unless you've got three sidewalks and a driveway to do! Everyone reaches a point when it’s best if they don't do that kind of hard physical activity - and that's where the snow blower comes in.

It's that time of year again in the snowy north, as our attention turns to snow-removal equipment. The lawn mower has been retired for another season, stored away snugly somewhere until the growth of the green grass becomes a sweet "problem" once again. Now, it's snow removal (from areas where it's not wanted, like your driveways) that poses a problem for landscapers. There are a number of different options for snow-removal equipment, each with its own set of pros and cons.

Snow Blower is an excellent choice for clearing dense, compacted and/or deep snow. It has an easily adjustable chute deflector and power-driven wheels, which can disengage independently to assist in turning. When choosing the right Snow Blower for your home, consider the size of the area that will be cleared, the time you have to do the task and the amount of snowfall you normally have each year. You will find many varieties of snow-mower machines.

Mainly there are two main types of snow blowers: Single-stage and Two-stage. The first is a light duty machine, which uses a single high-speed impeller to pull in snow and expel it from a discharge chute. Two-stage snow blowers on the other hand, are heavy duty and have more than one low-speed metal auger that pull the snow into an impeller, which then discharges the snow into a chute.

Single-Stage

For an average suburban home with a driveway and sidewalk, a single-stage snow thrower is the way to go. They are relatively lightweight and affordable, and are capable of handling up to 8" of snow. Although technically not self-propelled, the auger (shaped like a corkscrew) moves the machine along with it's rotating action as it scoops up snow and throws it through the chute. Single stage snow throwers use a single high-speed impeller to both move the snow into the machine and force it out the discharge chute.

The impeller is usually in the form of two or more curved plastic paddles that move snow towards the centerline of the machine where the discharge chute is located. Single stage snow throwers usually are light duty machines. Small electric machines can actually be picked up to chew away deep snow banks a layer at a time.

Two Stage

Two stage snow thrower as its name implies, the two stage snow thrower gets rid of the snow in two stages. An auger is used to break up the snow first, and then it is sucked into the impeller and blown out through the discharge chute. This type of thrower is used if your area typically gets snowfalls of more than a foot or more at a time.

Properly used, a snow blower can save you a lot of time and back ache. There are many manufacturers, including Honda, John Deere, Sears-Craftsman and Toro. The best time to buy a snow blower is after the season has ended, when they all go on sale.
