I read you wired one tree, but I think it was not this one?
Mallsai are young plants with decorative materials like (often) dead moss, a rock, and pebbles on top of the soil. They often have a typical S-shape or if they'r junipers, a bend to the right. They are not bonsai but are sold as such. Your tree resembles one of those.

I see a bonsai tree as symbol of wisdom experience and knowledge, i hope someone can agree with me.
I did not say it is a mallsai, but that it is shaped like a mallsai. Apparently the person who shaped it did that with a picture of a tree in mind - but that was the picture of a mallsai, which is a very bad example.
I suggest you start looking at what trees look like, what good bonsai look like, and try and see the differece. Look at some masterpieces and try to find out why they look so good - and why yours doesn't.
Yes, it can become a bonsai, but it will take many years of growth, study, practice and training.

I guess that means I was right, Auk
Miguel, can you please try to use a bit more punctuation so that we can read what you're writing more clearly? I understand if you aren't great at English, but it makes it easier for us to understand your problem and help you.

What I will do is welcome you to a very long term and patience minded hobby/art form. If you're truly looking to delve into 名媛直播, do a lot of reading and see if you can join a club.
I think it's spring for you now, so pot it in a big pot, and put it out side. Don't name it because it may die and I'd hate to read on here that you were heart broken over it. You will kill trees, it's an unfortunate part of this hobby/art.
Welcome

I tried to send you a PM but could not find how I will have another look.
Geoff.

I think he really meant to ask what the current style of the plant is, not what the best choice for a future style would be, as he wrote:
"This tree was [...] wired from young by a friend of mine into the shape it forms"
I think that's a problem. So many people have the wrong idea about what bonsai are supposed to look like. Too many people have the image of a mallsai in their head. Even artificial 'bonsai' are shaped that way...
