Hello all! My first post. I bought this little gal on a whim and am not quite sure where to start. I have only been researching bonsai for a little while so I'm mostly just scared of cutting, pruning and not quite sure where to begin. A few questions I have thought would be on the second picture (close up) there is a big cut where I'm assuming there used to be a second main branch. It is quite unsightly and not sure if this is going to be a huge damper on having a nice trunk. All of the trees where I bought it from where cut in the same exact manner though so I'm just curious as to why. Also it is a lot taller than I want it to be which is no biggy I can cut it back to be smaller just I'm not quite sure when and where. I'm looking for a traditional single trunk so nothing to fancy. I will be re-potting it soon as the container I bought it with is way to small and think I should wait for next year to do any major structural changes. Also when I do cut it back does this tree propagate from cuttings well? I'm sure the more research I do I'll have way more questions. And any feedback/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
