Hi friends!

I have Pithecellobium dulce that I want to train into bonsai. I know it still early but I learnt that planning starts from the possible earliest time of training a bonsai.

So I think this tree close to my final size. The trunk base diameter is around 1.5 inches. I just want to have a medium sized bonsai.

Until I change my mind in future, I decided the picture with the trunk leading to right will be the tree front side.

For the time being I think that big branch making me feel uneasy as it creates inbalance shape. I was thinking to remove it but afraid of wasting the branch as it took years to reach this size. How about your opinion? I also appreciate suggestion for other structure, form, advice etc. Thanks!

Your little tree is also called Acacia obliquifolia, and it is a big tree in nature.
I can see the taper and the movement, but I guess the trunk could be way thicker than it is now.
Please see the example attached.
As for your question, yes, the branch looks too thick and too long.
As a suggestion, think about using it as a new leader emphasising the taper.

Wow it is thicker than mine. Thanks for the advice Clicio. Never thought about making the branch as leader.
