Why worry about leaf size at this stage?So it's always good to cut back the huge leaves to reduce on size to fit better with the size of your tree
Of course your right why worry about it? It really doesn't matter, but it helps along the way to make it look more defined as it goes threw its stages.Why worry about leaf size at this stage?
Of course your right why worry about it? It really doesn't matter, but it helps along the way to make it look more defined as it goes threw its stages. This is bonsai and it's "your work of art" and how you want it. Is doing anything to tree really wrong as long as it's thriving and continuing to grow?

Nope. At this point your bonsai needs a TRUNK to make it look like a tree instead of a spindly tent pole. That is achieved through LETTING IT ALONE for the most part, and growing it in the ground ideally--for YEARS.Of course your right why worry about it?

So would you call this maple a waste of time??? This is something I'm working on now and shows a lot of character. Just cut it all back to make branches fit better with the trunk

Yeah of course there's something wrong with it and sucks that there is. Nothing a little TLC can't fix. I collected this rare find a couple days ago. I know it was a little late in the season to do so, but the yard was getting ripped apart for a pool at a friends house. So it would of been garbage if not. Yeah most of the branches are cut back to balance the tree out. From digging up I lost some roots and what I take away from the bottom I need to do to the top. Leaves were like this already. Couple fixes and love it will be thriving againWaste of time? No. But I wouldn't be cutting it all back and worrying about making the branches fit with the trunk. Judging by the leaves it looks like there's something wrong with it health-wise. You should let it grow and recover and not mess with it.
