Tidal Bonsai
Omono
I got this trident in the spring as a rooted cutting from a bonsai nursery in NJ. I have let it grow out, and only intervened to wire the branches where I wanted them. The problem is that I had to remove the wire on the top because it started to cut in, and now the branches all turned upwards and are shading out the lower growth. At this time of the year should I:
A. Defoliate the top leaves to give more light to the lower branches?
B. Prune back the top branches to 4 or so sets of leaves?
C. Rewire the top leaves to all face out, giving the lower branches more light?
D. All of the above?
