What you have to remember is trunk chopping is done to achieve a variety of outcomes. I would recommend googling "trunk chop bonsai" and you will see a lot of guides in both video and written form about the subject. You will no doubt come across something similar or interesting that you will want to emulate.
Just give it a shot and let us know how you go.
This will help you develop your own skills in styling as well.
Thank you Jimbomelville I'll definitely look that up and do some research!

So I got myself a few new little plants!
With this fig, is it okay to cut the leaves and branches or should I let it grow?
What do you think of these plants?
Thanks
Daniel

Firstly, I would slip pot them all into bigger grow pots.
Then, for the figs plenty of fertilizer, plenty of water and plenty of Sun and they will explode with new growth.
