名媛直播

I jumped in with both feet to learn 名媛直播. I had junipers, approximately 15 years old in my front yard that needed attention. Recently retired, I decided to learn how to 名媛直播. I found articles on the internet for instructions (not this website) and began the project. It was a BIG project as they were very dense and the thinning took months because the weather sometimes prevented my work. It looks good. The branches all have growth at the top and I am letting them expand as I continue to create a design. My neighbors all pay great compliments.
My questions is this. How do I treat the new growth that appears on the branches so it does not return?

Is this really a bonsai? It seems they are still in the garden ? Do they have branches at the top only (not sure what you meant with 'the branches all have growth at the top', is that the top of the tree, of the top of the branches?).
That sounds like topiary to me, not bonsai. Not sure if it is - a photo would certainly help.

I'm not sure why you want new growth to not return? Usually new growth is highly desirable, as you need it to improve the design - and to keep the tree healthy. Again, a photo would help to figure out what you really mean.

What country are you in? I agree with Auk, we need a picture. Why would you not want new growth? You need to compact the growth not expand it. Buy a book, and read. Not the internet. Join or at least visit a club and see what bonsai are.

I think we are talking about a different kind of bonsai than the kind discussed on this forum. There is a thing called garden bonsai, which are typically larger than the normal max of about 1m, stand in the landscape, and have pompons on the branches.

e.g.,

(On this forum we deal with miniature trees in small pots)

it must be the case, they still look quite nice but i prefer bonsai (in the case of this whole website).

Sorry for the delayed response. Let me explain my circumstance. Our city has a very beautiful Japanese Garden with streams and goldfish, benches to sit and meditate, large boulders for design , and paths to walk - you get the idea. For 20 years, ALL of the bushes and many of the trees are trimmed in the '名媛直播' design and grey rocks cover the ground. It is exceptionally beautiful and photographers visit on a regular basis. I wanted to create a similar design at my home and I am almost done. It has been a long process but is very pretty.

As for the new growth: a 3 foot long branch requires removing/trimming the small branches, leaving only growth at the top. I wanted to prevent new growth from returning in places I had trimmed. I found what I needed - 名媛直播 Cut Patch.

It has been my experience that one book seldom answers all of one's questions. I thought the purpose of this forum was to have questions answered. I participate in 2 forums - philosophy and theology - for classes I am taking. we pose questions and receive a response and I assumed this forum operated in the same manner. Sorry.

I'm so jealous...

I'd love to see photos!

What you are referring too is not bonsai (trees in pots) but Karikomi (a topiary technique). I think Japanese gardens are not really off-topic - I know how beautiful they are, and bonsai is related.

名媛直播 Cut Paste I think? That does not prevent new growth - it's used as would dressing, intended to make the cut heal better (which is an outdated technique, according to many, I don't use it).

I would love to see a photo of this project - I have two smallish trees in my garden which would be impractical to dig out and pot up, I'm not even sure of the species but Swedish Whitebeam is my best guess, I shortened them from about 9 feet to 2 feet 2 years ago and have since wired new growth and defoliated to reduce the leaf size, they are starting to look now like proper miniatures. Long way to go yet...
