This is hands-down the best bonsai pruning video on KZfaq. I’ve been searching for this type of information for weeks and nobody explains it. Hallelujah.

Very helpful. You told where to cut and why, this was not clear from anyone else. I know understand how to have some control over how it will grow and develop. Thank you.

Great tutorial, thanks so much, I'm a total beginner after receiving an elm for xmas, it's busy getting hairy - so I'll just let it be, but now feel confident when it's ready to trim!
