CHOKKAN (Formal Upright)


As the name implies, this is the most formalized of all styles.The trunk must be ramrod straight and bolt upright, tapering uniformly from base to tip.
The branches should be arranged alternately either side of the trunk with every third branch to the rear. The branches should diminish in thickness and in length from the lowest one upwards, and should be either horizontal or sloping downwards.
Ideally, the spaces between the branches should also diminish toward the top of the tree, in proportion to their thickness and length.
