Restyling an established bonsai offers you the opportunity to analyze the trees' branch structure and address any hidden structural issues. Eric provides a 360 degree examination of this mother-daughter* Bunjin Juniper and addresses branches that are possibly too big; branches with awkward shapes; excess foliage; and other potential areas for focus and clean-up. Eric shares a memory from a former teacher that helped him to realize how difficult it can be to maintain the thin trunk of a Bunjin style bonsai.
From 10:45 you can watch Eric make a few key, strategic branch cuts and then complete trimming and wiring the tree.
*Mother-Daughter trees have two trunks, one dominant and the other subordinate.
