Sapling
I’m just getting into bonsai, I’ve pruned a small DAS and just bought my first junipers yesterday. In the store the branching looked solid but when I got it home I realized there was no leader-branch structure. All the branches come out from the same area. Sort of like this tree attached photo I saw online from Dallasbonsai.
My question is, what do you do to get it into a more proper shape? So far I’ve kept the large lower branches and wired the furthest branch along the trunk upright to become the leader. However, it looks like an upside down letter T because the lower branches and the “leader” are all the same size. I’ll add a photo of this shortly.
I understand it may take years to form a pleasing bonsai shape, but don’t see the path forward right now. Any advice is appreciated.
