Re: Olive what to do?
It looks like you have the start of a nice spreading bonsai. I would do the following
- Take off one of the two branches that start at the same location. Keep the one with the branches/leaves closest to the trunk.
- There is a spot where there are two branches that are fairly close together - one is up and right of the other. I would remove one of them.
- Cut the long center stump back to about 1 diameter above the top branch. You will cut it back further next year once the collar has transitioned the top branch.
- Wire the branches to give an undulating up and out movement with some side to side movement as well. Make it a bit exaggerated since growth will make it smoother. Try to place branchlets on the outside of cuves.
