Hi, I received a weeping rosemary plant that I have trimmed and am hoping to make some sort of "bonsai" out of it. I have trimmed all but two shoots from the trunk structure and kept a few inches of the other shoots coming off of the trunk in the hopes that maybe I could jin. Does rosemary have the right type of "wood" in order to be able to jin? Thanks Dave

I uses a relativly soft wire brush, in the same direction as the grain to enhance the texture. I found this out when a rosemary of mine died last year and i had a play myself.
