Can you help me out please and explain some words often used in bonsai. I'm VERY new to the bonsai world (just over a month) and im still not up to scratch with a lot of words used in the bonsai world. If you could tell me some and explain them it would be great.
Thanks.

Re: Please explain some words often used in Bonsai.
a couple to start with (and correct my spelling if wrong crew)
nebari - the root structure you can see
yamadori - a tree collected from the wild
shohin - a bonsai under 21cm
badass - an awesome tree
taper - the way the thickness of the tree's trunk/major branches moves from bottom to top
reverse taper - ... try not to do that...
