So what do you do? When you are new to bonsai and you know you need to move to better material, but you still have that old nursery stock sitting there? You make long term plans.
Now, the thing about long term plans is they involve alot of parts. So first you must look at the parts as a whole to find where to start. Ok im done thinking out loud. I'm just trying to say where I'm coming from. I guess I'll start this in the order i think they should be addressed in. Let me know if im wrong. Oh yea the leaves.... she's fine right? *buy shade cloth
Yea there's a lot of work to do.
At some point we are going to have to air layer, for sure. The reason i say it first is to keep in mind it has to happen at some point.
The most important thing is it needs to grow! Which means in the ground grow. For at least 2 to 3 year. It is in need of a repot too. Heres my thought to make a whole new tree.
.
Let it grow out as it is in the ground long enough to turn that first left branch into a 2nd trunk. Then air layer just below where the trunks meet as the new ground line and start building branch structure and leaders from there.
