Hello all,
I've read all I can and watched hours of video and just recently received a procumbens as a gift which was procured from a local respected bonsai nursery. I'm not sure of the age but this tree has received training. It's styled as a semi-cascade and I'm wondering if I should keep this way, or if there may be an alternative style suited for it. It's got lots of backbudding occurring on the trunk, should this be removed? I agree w/ the stylist's front and presentation, but wondering if I should trim this long branch which appears to be an extension of the trunk, or "go with it". Like most novices, I'm hesitant to dive in and just want to make informed decisions. That being said, what would you do with this shape?
I look forward to learning from this forum and hope to be able to learn enough to give back.
Warm Regards,
