So i started growing a mango seedling a little over a year ago, planning on grafting a good quality mango tree producer on top of it. However, with my limited space, i've recently decided to turn it into a bonsai. I've cut off the apex 6 months ago but realized i did not do it quite well. Attached is a picture of how it looks now. What should i do? should i cut diagonally right under the tip to get rid of it, or should i just leave it as is? Thank you!

Besides the question of Mango as bonsai (leaves are too coarse, not easy to the ramnification on).. What do you want us to advice you on? How to get it to grow again?

I was wondering whether or not i should cut the tip off, since when i first did it i cut above the nodes rather than below. Which is why there are leaves at the very tip of the plant. Is that okay? or should i remove the tip? Does that make any sense?

To be honest.. Nope. Does not make sense.

IF you want to develop this into a bonsai, you have to first develop roots & trunk. THat should be your main worry. This stemy is nowhere near large enough to balance the size of the leaves.

IF you are after creating a bonsai, my guess would be: Grow a trunk that is at least 10cm thick before thinking babout anything else.

Ah! sorry about that. I know that the main concern is to thicken the trunk, and establish roots, but you do have to pinch off the top to promote branching and halt vertical growth right? I just want to know if what i did so far looks right. Or if the very top of the tree looks funny.

depends on the strategy & species.

The link doesn't work, where can I find info on growing trunks? Thank you
