Yes, working on both those trees would have been me....without doubt
You should have said hello.
Lingnan, although known to implement the 'whatever works approach'
You wanted to know about this statement, well its very simple;
Most westerners or bonsai enthusiasts, refer to Lingnan as the "Clip and grow method" not using any other method of training except clip and grow.
The is completely - False
The whole point on Penjing is to have no barriers, lets of the least a physical one. Yes, Clip and grow is a major technique implemented, but only one of many.
So what I meant by these words, is to be like water, in your mind, in your actions, then finally in your physical.
Be one with your emotions as the body will always follow the mind.
Yes, 'Comfrey' can be used, this has been used for centuries for bone brakes , ulcers etc...Your on the right path, Its a stress reliever and this will transcend into the tree as well. As well as many other remedies are used.
As said in an earlier passage - Do what nature intended not what man intended.
What nature Creates , Man separates. - Kongzi
So all is found in Nature. Your job is to be a student of the Earth, to seek. And have your seeking flow like water.
Take care,
