Re:Tropical Bonsai Histor 2006/11/25 11:39
I would try to contact Jim Smith, Ed Trout, Mary Miller and Mary Madison. They've been at the forefront of Florida's tropical bonsai scene for a long time -- some as long as 40 years.
There are some defining difference between tropicals and more traditional styles: Tropicals tend to have larger, fuller canopies, wilder movement, and, often, aerial roots. But this is not really so much a difference in style (in the sense of, say, Informal Upright, or Cascade) than it is one of idiom.
