Hey everyone as tatty as these look at the moment they are among my most sentimental and favorite bonsai Trees, gorgeous black Cherry (edible)
I currently have 3 in different growing configurations. The first I decided to grow in the shape of a heart as I try to always live my life with peace and love, so everytime I enter my house and look at this Tree it reminds me of my own mantra and to continue practicing it.
The other two I really have no real plan for at the moment. The one I cut off all the leaves of the horizontal branches just leaving a leaf ball at the end. Not sure this is the right Tree for this however, time will tell. I want to get a conifer bonsai going too with this strategy, will work very well with that species I feel.
The idea is as this matures and gets biggest and more robust the long branches will come to an end with "leaf balls" however a long elongated leaf of this particular tree I'm not too sure how this will pan out ?
Love, light and blessings.
Have a magic day.
Cheer$;)
