Season 7 Episode 44 - When is it Best to Just Let it Grow, Short Term Sacrifice Branches

And if you do let them run when should you prune them? To improve the strength of your bonsai we can use selective pruning (or not) and help build resilience and improve vigour. Sacrifice branches are a tool we use when we talk about trunk development or primary branch development but there is another use for them. 'Short Term' sacrifice branches are great and really can give your bonsai a boost. Plant Sluts A cheeky deep-dive into the wild, sexy, and often subversive world of botany
