c. Trunk appearance. The texture of a trunk’s surface
may be smooth and without blemish which gives the
appearance of youth. Its texture may be rough, gnarled,
and scarred giving the appearance of age. A mature
tree usually has broken limbs and a trunk scarred by
the elements.
Branches.
a. The angle of the branches is a major visual cue in
determining the age of a tree. Branches on juvenile
trees have a strong upward growth while those on an
older and more mature tree droop with weight and
age.
b. The lower branches, because they are older, are thicker.
Since they have to reach out for sunlight, they are
longer.
c. The older the tree is the more branch ramification
(multiple smaller branches) it will have. But, it will
also have openings for the birds to fly through.
d. The apex provides an indicator of age. The apex of an
immature tree is relatively pointed, still moving
upward. The apex of a mature tree is more rounded,
having reached its maximum height and beginning to
spread.
Special Effects to Enhance the Appearance of Ageing
a. Scarring and damage caused by time can be created on
a bonsai by creating areas of dead wood.
(1) The top of the trunk or the end of a branch may be
stripped of bark, carved and bleached.
