Buxus Shohin ideas?

[Pat093]

here is a lil plant i just picked up, that i thought i would have a go at shohin.
Any ideas? shout i do the big chop and bring it down to a trunk and 3 stubby branches?

Tilt it left or right that is you leader, and first branch cut the middle out. Explore the roots they will tell you which way to tilt it.

ok so should i take it down to the 3 branches? and then put it in a grow pot for a lil bit?

I think Pup is suggesting taking out the middle trunk entirely, and when you tilt it, the branch you move up becomes the leader, and the other becomes the first branch.
Cut the both back short and build the new top of the tree from there

If you kept the centre trunk, and both branches, You will end up with a dead straight trunk and a big bar branch. Neither of which are attractive as a Bonsai
