About one year ago I planted a seed of a peach tree in a little container with the idea of growing it as a bonsai. Today it is all growned up, I just don't know if it normal for it to have leafs so big and not showing any signal of a little branch.
I wish good year for everyone

Contrary to popular belief, bonsai are not created by keeping plants in small pots, expecting the plants will then stay small and grow like a bonsai.

You will need to do a bit reading up. The very slow routeis growing this all its life in a pot. The normally slow process is through growing this out in the ground and chopping back (Then still, think decade+)
