McSpeed:
The product label for this chemical (generic is dikegulac sodium) states it slows down apical growth, promotes new branching and more compact foliage in shrubs and ornamentals. Sounds ideal for some of the species we use in bonsai. It is expensive (about $100 for a gallon) but it might be worth it if it does what it says without killing the tree first.
