That’s not necessarily your best bet. Start trimming your tree with your fingers. Remove new growth by twisting it between your thumb and forefinger like a cue tip. That will give your tree a more natural look and you’ll be less likely to hurt the bark. Focus on making the trunk look natural and mature. You can prune deciduous bonsai with a pair of scissors.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EAC9F167-D928-4B4A-86EF-5A258CE8E307/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
