Chokkan
The Chokkan style
Formal upright style

The Chokkan style in bonsai is characterized by a straight, vertical, and conical trunk. This trunk rises directly from the base of the bonsai without significant curvature or twisting. The branches are symmetrically distributed along the main trunk, with a tiered arrangement, each tier being slightly higher than the one before.
The leaves or needles are small and slender, contributing to the elegant appearance of the Chokkan. This style aims to create an impression of dignity, strength, and balance. The vertical trunk and symmetrical branches reinforce this aesthetic, giving the tree a majestic presence.

Owner's note :
PINZADO:
El pinzado debe realizarse con los nuevos brotes reduciéndolos a 2-4 hojas durante la época de crecimiento con el fin de equilibrar su vigor.
Si a la vez que cortamos la rama, la defoliamos, conseguiremos brotes desde el interior y así renovaremos las ramas.
El pinzado de brotes maduros se realiza de julio a septiembre, cortando los brotes demasiado largos cuando las hojas ya estén hechas.
Desde abril hasta agosto el olivo resiste las podas fuertes y brota con mucha facilidad.
Nunca podaremos o desfoliaremos ramas tiernas pues al no haber subido la glucosa no tendríamos resultados y los nuevos brotes serían débiles.
