I just grabbed this shrub that was yanked out of the ground at a construction site. It is about 4’ tall and will obviously need a trunk chop at some point. A lot of the bark got ripped off and a couple of the stems are crushed. The bottom section of trunk where all the stems join is about 3.5” in diameter. I trimmed some of the longest roots and put it in a tub with a gritty bonsai mix. I would eventually like to get buds down near the thick section and develop a short, fat tree from there.
Should I chop the trunks now, to get all the insults over with at once, or leave it for a few seasons to recover first.
Thanks for any advice.
