Hi everyone!
I got a Hibiscus cutting maybe 6 month ago. My grandmother has been caring for it, until now.
It has grown really good, but it has gotton no training. It has just been growing freely in a very small pot.
I am now looking to start training it into a beautiful bonsai. But i am unsure about the shape. I have attached an image, showing the branching of the tree as is.
I was hoping some of you would have some input as to how i should go about cutting the tree. I was thinking about keeping the two lower branches at the bottom, and then maybe cut the "main" trunk some where over the small branches, and then keep the "main" branch as the "main" trunk. Sorry i have forgotten the word for the "main" trunk
Please feel free to mention all inputs you might have. Thanks a lot!
Have a wonderful day
