Sound advise..... the important here in Hawthorn's quote is that you want to make sure you pay attention to how the energry of the tree is flowing. You want to make sure the tree's growth is being put to best use. Let the tree grow wild for a few years.... then chop it back severly.... in 2-3 years it might make for a nice shohin... in 7-10 years it could start to make a nice medium bonsai
I could try and type out a descriptioin.... but that would do a disservice to the fine article written by Brent @ EverGreenGardenWorks.com (a fine place for gettings material in the states to buy and forget about for a few years)
