Bonsai tree pruning | Deciding which branches to prune

For further reading about branches and pruning, I recommend the book Modern Bonsai Practice: 501 Principles of Good Bonsai Horticulture by Larry Morton. You can see it on Amazon at these links:

Modern Bonsai Practice (ES, in English) - https://amzn.to/3r8DtSb
Modern Bonsai Practice (DE, in English) - https://amzn.to/31aMjEz
The book explains all aspects of bonsai horticulture in detail, also includes many beautiful photographs of Walter Pall's bonsai collection.
These links take you to the book on Amazon with my affiliate ID. So if you decide to purchase the book, you are also buying me a coffee without costing you any extra! Thank you.

In this video I show you some tough decisions on branches to prune and trunks to chop on bonsai trees. I explain the reasons behind each decision. Pruning deciduous trees in winter. Trunk chop, and branch pruning. Japanese Maple, Deshojo, Orange Dream, and Crab Apple bonsai.

NOTE: It is nearly spring; if the buds are already swelling on your deciduous trees, then DON'T PRUNE them now. Wait until June or even until December. First let the tree leaf out in spring.
