i wanted to start some discussion on this topic, other than to say it simply isn't done. Some broadleaved trees are often shown with deadwood features, but these are usually evergreen species like olives or boxwood. When deadwood is seen on deciduous material it is usually in the form of Uris and other hollows. It seems to me the prohibition against jins and Shari on deciduous trees comes from two basic ideas, one biological, and one artistic.
Firstly, as Japan and most other temperate climates tend to rot wood on deciduous trees quickly, whereas the wood on conifers resists rot a great deal longer. Here on the Canadian prairies however, the cold and drought slow rot on even deciduous trees to the point where deadwood can last for years or even decades.
