Hey, folks, how are you? My name is Heitor and i am a bonsai enthusiast! Recently, I added a new tree to my collection: a "Dwarf cherry" (Eugenia mattosii) from a nursery at São Bernardo, which has been living for 7 years. However, it has come to my attention that its trunks (it seems to have more than one "main" trunk) are WAY too straight, a fact which bothers me. Is there a way to correct this, such as a specific prunning method? I'm sending the pics too. Btw, if you have any tips on how to take care of this species, I'd be glad to read them. Thanks! :)
(apparently, I can't see the other post which made. Sry for repeating my question :( )

I answered in your other thread.

Nice

At a couple points you seem to have 3 branches emerging from a single point. In general, you should have only a single branch and the continuation of the trunk, so each point (node) you divide into 2, the branch and the trunk, or 2 branches). Go through and choose which you want to keep and which to eliminate. This will ''clean up'' and make your tree look more tree like.
