I might have cut farther, given how aggressively it is budding. You've got a lot of extra trunk that you're going to want to get rid of.
Did you have thoughts of your main trunk line? I think once you decide on that, you will have a better idea of your branch development needs.
I took the tree to a friend for inputs and besides loads of people offering to dispose of it for me if I pay them a few bucks
one thing I was forced to face was that I had made and was and still making the mistake of not cutting back brutally because I love the tree too much.. I cant believe I've fallen victim to it but here I am.
I hate it when someone at the club points something like that out and then you have to accept it and you cant un-see it when you're home.
SO.. Mister Bonsai Nut, thank you and yes... you were right, I was blind to it then, but I see what I'm doing and it will lead to a perfectly trimmed tree that has zero trunk taper or ...
topiary bonsai . A dreadful nightmare I'm sure you guys over there also point to and laugh at
I will post a picture and a virt of where it will need to be cut and what the outcome should be.
