Hi,

Thought i'd post this as my first pic.
Any thoughts welcome.

Bit of a caveman style drawing .If you are willing to take the chance in getting shoots in the sweet spots ,this could be a possibility.

shouldn't be a problem popping up and down that trunk once you cut that much off. even pinching will cause lots of popping back. it looks like you have repotted recently?

[Deemon]

No, found it at a nursery last week and cut it back to what you see. Couldn't help myself!
It now looks like the Bottles that line my street, which I love.

Not sure if I should have done this at this time. I like the way it looks now (cute)

Might go get another and try something different.

Good find,
This is something like i start with , i can see a zig zag thingy happening with the branches. Look forward to its progress.
Good luck with it . oh, Is this one of your firsts?
Cheers, Petra!

Well done Deemon. It is looking great. I would add some wire and tweek a little. I would also trim back quite hard again after it starts growing again. I like your idea for this.

It is one of my firsts. Only been into bonsai this year. But Loving every leaf.

There's one at the back which has popped.
