Hi all,
I am quite new to bonsai and I would like to start my own tree.
In my parent's garden they have a small linden tree, Tilia cordata. It is about 1.5m in height and in my opinion, it would be suitable for a bonsai as it does have a good nebari and nice trunk. However, 1.5m is of course much too high! So I planned to dig out this tree in spring, and prune it hard.
Am I correct that I can prune such a Tilia quite hard, even almost down to the trunk, and it bounces back (given it is healthy) ?
For my bonsai experiment I would prune the tree in a height of about 40cm, could that work?
Thanks for hints!
