Okay so here are my questions.
First I know my first priority is to get it into some proper bonsai soil. That will be done in early spring.
But I have a plant for this tree that I would like to realize.
As far as I can tell to get the results I want which include taper I would have to trunk chop where the arrows are in the image attached, then carefully guide the new growth where I want it.
My question… When is this chop best performed am I going to be waiting for spring 2004? I have a feeling I will have to wait till then as in spring the tree will only have been collected 1 year and 9 months. Do you have any constructive criticism or advice for either my “design” or my process?
Also the tree is a crab apple.
Okay go easy on me I am still a newby.
