Wiring & Pruning (Styling) Branches of European Hornbeam (Pre) Bonsai

Advancing the branches of my European Hornbeam (pre) bonsai. It feels like taking step/s backwards in order to hopefully move forwards, and improve the bare branches. The design up to this point has resulted in pads that feel slightly 'traditional pine bonsai' style. The existing finer ramification has some unnatural looking aspects when viewed without foliage. In this video I'm making the first moves towards improving the structure of the branches primary and secondary pieces. Cleaning, pruning and wiring will all play a part. Let's start a conversation about the apex of the tree though...? ****************************************************** Follow me on Instagram   / grobonsai   Facebook:   / grobonsai   TikTok: @grobonsai ****************************************************** Links: [1] Wiring tips (various) https://live.bonsaimirai.com/ [2] Mirai detail wiring    • Bonsai Detail Wiring   [3] Mirai beginner structural wiring    • Bonsai Beginner Series - Structural Wiring
