I purchased this Trident Maple last year at the Alabama Bonsai Show. The seller told me it was ready to pot, but too late in the season. He also told me that he had started cutting the branches for shape. The first picture shows how it was when purchase. The next shows without leaves, and the small stubs were the branches were cut. I was not sure about this when I saw it this fall, but since have seen others like this. So I am guessing this is the correct way to cut the limbs back? I plan to put in bonsai pot in the next few weeks. So what do I do with the small branches coming from the shot stub? Do I cut them off or wire them out?
Sorry for the pines in the background, I know if makes it hard to focus, but did not have time to move the tree.
Thanks,
Michael
