If not, how do you keep the leaves from growing large, given that mango trees usually grow exceptionally large leaves? Any other tips on how to bonsai them? Thanks!
I believe that if you do make a bonsai everything follows. Like the trunk, leaves. Everything shrinks. Or becomes miniature. But if it happens to be the actual size then something might be wrong with the way you bonsai the plant.
