Trunk - The part of the tree that naturally gets thinner as it goes up from the root. This is referred to as having a good "taper".
Root Flare - The part where the root transitions to the trunk. This is an important point of appreciation as it receives the strength of the root spread.
First Branch - The lowest branch (lower branch). This is the most important branch in a bonsai.
Second Branch - The branch that is above the first branch. It is made on the opposite side of the first branch.
Branch Pad - A cluster at the tip of a structural branch.
Tree Core - The top of the bonsai. The clarity of the pattern affects the tree's quality.
Tree Crown - The tip of the tree (tree crown). It is also a growth point and, except for cliff making, it is the highest point of the tree.
Tree Height - The height from the root spread to the tree core (head).
These are the basic parts of a bonsai tree. Understanding these parts and how they work together is crucial to appreciating the beauty of bonsai.
