AusBonsai

I bought this as a bonsai from a cheapo nursery. Its been sitting in a larger pot for a year now gaining strength etc. What would you prune to fix the poor maintenance it has had in the past? I just dont know where to start!!

I dont even know what style to go with. Was thinking informal upright or broom if i cut one of the main branches off...

Hi Aj, not difficult for me to make a decision, maybe more difficult for you though. Cut off the long, straight right hand trunk and throw it away and keep the bottom curved section for your tree.

Thanks for that!! Thats what i had imagined. Would make a broom style very easy. OR infromal upright too...
Winter a good time to cut the branch off?

No time like the present You can take that off now and seal it with wound paste

But isn't right now one of its heaviest growing periods? Or they dont sap much? Sorry used to pines lol
I can cut paste it up no worries but dont really want a big scar...

Id love to do it now lol then i can start designing the rest of it
