Hello everyone
I am fairly new to Bonsai however I have a mildly green tinted thumb. Over the last year I have tried to educate myself in the art. I finally got myself a few trees and I am a little confused on what to do with one of them. It is a white serrissa that I purchased on ebay. It is about 5" or so. Two of the main branches have not show any buds and I fear that they are dead. The problem is that they are in the front and well I think they give that portion of the tree great movement. What if I kept them and made 2 jin? If I did this I could use the 2 smaller and separate growths on either side to replace the growth from the 2 dead branches. I guess in a clump style. I was planning on removing them along with the other growth I was just using to grow the parts of the roots they are on. I planned on keeping the tree under 12" and a wide canopy.
Ok I'm done rambling here is a. Few pictures please any advice, insight etc... Will be greatly appreciated.
