Build A Bonsai- Put movement in a trunk or branch.

[Mitchell]

Here's another image, of how to construct a trunk line or give a branch movement.
This was also something I struggled understanding early on. In a zig-zag fashion you choose alternating shoots to establish the curves.

Very basic, but you got to start somewhere.

Mitchell that is the perfect answer to Sticks in pots . I like your thinking with the broom too.

The mrs reckons I would not know one end of a broom from the other.

I have an ear ache to go with the one I will have on friday with my answer

Again I like your thinking there.Pup
