Hello BonsaiNut.com!
I am currently producing a multimedia piece about the science of bonsai trees and have hit a wall. The folks over at the Bonsai subreddit suggest I post here!

Since this is the most active bonsai community (that I found), I would appreciate if could point me to any research papers, scientists, or other bonsai enthusiasts that I should reach out to about this topic.
Here is the small list of papers that I have already found/read that relate to this topic:
Here is my post on the /r/Bonsai subreddit and the answers I received.
Thanks in advance! Saheel Mehta
