Bonsai Styles: Semi-cascade
- So what are the differences between a 'Semi' and a 'full' cascade. I'd suggest that they lay in the angle of the major trunk, below the horizontal. A Semi-cascade will have an angle no greater than 45º. Keywords: Cascades, Kengai -

Semi-Cascade Style
- The tip of a semi-cascade, like the cascade, projects over the rim of the container, but does not drop below its base. The style occurs in nature when trees grow on clifs or overhang water. The angle of the trunk in this bonsai is not precise, as long as the effect is strongly horizontal, even if the plant grows well below the level of the pot rim. Any exposed roots should balance the trunk. -
