_Posted by Binil Sivan on 2025-11-16_

I have a Chinese sweet plum bonsai. Currently the growth is very erratic and not able to control its growth. It shed all the leaves from main structure and now big shoots coming up with no structure. I stopped pruning as I read somewhere that sheding of leaf can be because of the shock from pruning. Any help on how to take care of this bonsai and bring it back to it's natural canopy is highly appreciated.
