Nice stump :-)
Similar size to the one I am going to dig from home so I can put in a water tank

Greetings,
You will need to carve early and bend branches before they get too big. The branches are very brittle. They shoot from old wood and my big salvaged peach was, and probably still is, full of ants. The leaves respond to the "two thirds" cut and reduce nicely.
They look best as a clasic style in full flower. Good luck,
Bonsai Bruce.
PS Don't forget Bimer Christmas party this Saturday.
