Hello everyone i'm new here and i just wanted to show my new trees i found. After some research i found out they are "Pachira Aquatica" aka money trees. Im guessing they have been growing up against eachother for about 8 years. The roots seemed to have combined on the bottom. They used to be about 3 feet tall but i recently chopped to about 10 inches. The trunks looked about right to me so i decided to chop so i can begin working on the branch layout. I was wondering what be the best way to encourage branch growth? I noticed that the two trees are almost merging together at the base of the trunk. Would it be possible to somehow merge these 2 trunks into 1 big one? I rarely see any money tree bonsai pictures besides the usual braided ones you see at the store. Has anyone took the time to shape one of these guys to more of a bonsai look? Any suggestions???
Heres how they look at their natural environment http://www.hear.org/starr/plants/images/species/?q=pachira+aquatica
