Okay, so I got a little over-exuberant with my shaping and pruning of my Ming Aralia. But I have every confidence that my first attempt at a Bonsai composition will eventually be gorgeous in about ten years. Lots of work to do still. This shaping is the result of months of shaping with wire that has been removed. The twine will be removed in a few months once the branches have firmly grown into the configuration I’ve placed them in. It has 11 branches signifying longevity which it will need in order to become the tree in my vision. Next will be trimming the roots and securing it in a proper Bonsai pot. To be completely transparent, I know nothing about Bonsai and I started this project with nothing but a little info I got on YouTube. I followed no ancient Bonsai rules by choice. I’m not even sure one could even call this a true Bonsai. Probably not. So please do not ask me any questions about doing this. I am not the right person to advise anyone on how to Bonsai. I don’t even know for sure that I haven’t already killed my formerly gorgeous Ming. It is still growing though, so that’s promising. 😬

Looks like it will be an epic bonsai!

Thank you! I hope so! I hope I live long enough to see it!! (That’s the real reason there’s 11 branches.) 🤞🏼
