Bonsai Pruning Bonsai   Pruning   on   the   apex   is   required   while   leaf   plus   are   still   very   young.   It makes the primary and secondary branches more healthy.  Pruning    twice    or    trice    on    the    top    and    once    on    the    first    and    secondary branches will produce a bigger primary branch.  With   the   limited   soil   and   space,   the   leaf   plus   will   start   on   the   apex   and   will   not produce good leaf plus on the bottom branches. Note   that   the   primary   branch   should   be   bigger   than   the   secondary,   the   tertiary and fourth branches.
