Ceate this with no wire. You are real natural bonsai design. How to get more ramification ?

take away the pot and photoshop it into a lanscape and you have a tree.

I absolutely love this tree. I have a large Hornbeam I’m growing out as we speak. I going to try the @Walter Pall hedging method...😉

Much is proved here; we are living in an age in bonsai where because of our communication advantages we have all sorts of oppinions floating around out there, this one about hedging and pinching is but one. If what you do works it is not wrong and an attempt to make it so is wrong---maybe. I think the methods of pinching single flush two needle Pines is wrong as is currently being taught, I think the stogie argument for spring repotting only, is not as accurate and inviolate as taught. I think the teaching that pinching a Juniper is injurious to the tree and should not be done is wrong for Shimpakus. So there you go.

Yes, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
