Growing from seed, when do I start trimming was created by RiccaBucks

Hi,
Im new to this whole thing, i Got a little powder brush tree that im grown from seed that i want to 名媛直播. I know its going to take forever for it to grow into a tree but after about 3 weeks iv got some nice little leafing sapling trees. its growing pretty quick.
The back of the seed package (which has directions for bonsai) says "Once you have 5 or 6 pairs of leaves, then prune back to 1 or 2 pairs."
Do I prune a new little sapling tree? or should i wait lets say... a year until its a more mature little sapling tree? I read that you dont start "training" a tree from seed until after a few years and its starting to bark. but is Pruning considered "training"
Thanks for any help

First you need them in a BIG pot next you need about five years. Then you can start pruning. Far better to buy a plant that is several years old and ready for work. From the look of the leaves you will have difficulty.
