My parents bought me a juniper bonsai. It needs a fair bit of work from what I can see. Unfortunately, that involves an inverse taper. Would planting the tree in a bigger pot help to thicken up the lower portion of the trunk which has the inverse taper? Would I need to get a branch growing lower down? Or chop to the lowest branch as advised here for a Maple: https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/trident-maple-inverse-taper-help.48984/.
