I really don't want to remove the branches and just keep the main branch, so my question is this. I have read the guidelines for a cascade , and i was wondering if anyone has seen a cascade that has 3 cascade branches?

You can always remove branches at a later date. Just make sure you're basing your decision on a vision of this tree's future rather than on reluctance to make a decision. __________________ Bonsai Barry "Our talent lies in our choices."

So, if the main branch cascades to the right, then have one branch form the apex slightly of center and have a smaller branch on the "weak" side that is above the soil level and shorter.
