Seeking Advice (Ficus Bonsai)

[Nikolacage]

I need some help with styling this Ficus bonsai, I've had it for a few years now but don't have much experience in the art of Bonsai,
I was was curious as the which branches I should remove and wire if necessary.
Also thinking that it could do with a height reduction any tips and advice would be appreciated.[image][image][/image][/image]

First up before we talk about your tree there are a few things to help people help you.

Firstly, try and post pictures directly to the post. There are guides on the website to help with that. Some people are less likely to click on external links and it will limit your responses.

Secondly, if you put a location in your profile it will also help people give better advice. You don't have to say I live at number x, on whatever street, just a general area. NSW Australia is a big place with many climate variables. Other parts of Australia even more so. Being in the northern hemisphere makes advice different again.

As for your tree, it is a Ficus benjamina which can be a bit tricky. Some varieties of the species respond well to established bonsai techniques. others can be incredibly frustrating. If there is a Bonsai club in your area I would suggest that would be a good place to start. Seeing a tree in person and having someone explain things while the tree is front of them will give you so much more useful guidance than what can be given over the internet.

As I said above, advice for what can be done now will depend on where you live, so let us know and we may be able to help you more directly.
