[IBC] Priorities in bonsai design
Maybe I should be more specific.
I obtaines some juniper gold coast trees with trunks that I think would look good as they are. The branches and foliage need working on. Do I first see to the branches and foliage before putting in a bonsai pot or can I pot it up now? Again, one generally does not put a tree in a bonsai pot until it is a "bonsai." And, working on branches and foliage puts some degree of stress on the tree. It is usually best to do that while the tree has a full set of roots to help it recover from the stress. If you are happy with the trunks -- and it is YOU who has to be happy with your trees -- then you can work away at the top.
