Marie1uk, thanks for that and its funny as your pic you did is basically the same as what ive scribbled in my bonsai book as to how I plan the tree to end up looking so thats good
Pruning, you said to scissor cut if first to basically trim to a rough shape first, do I just cut or do I have to say cut just passed a set of leaves or something, is this important as after the trimming then I will be at a later date doing a more precise prunning?
You say about doing bit at a time because it could kill the tree, so how much is abit and how often? i.e. when can I start again on the next bit, next week, a Month later?
Sorry for the questions but I dont want to end up doing more harm than good.
cheers
