Hi there,
I acquired this Japanese Maple in spring and am wanting to train it as a bonsai. It was in the clearance section of a nursery and didn’t look to be in good health. After some pruning and a repot it has responded well so far. I have been feeding it, and I am getting a second explosion of growth. My question is, should I be doing any maintenance pruning throughout the summer to direct the structure, or just let it be for this year? It did also have a bout of phyllosticta but it appears to have cleared up. Thanks for any suggestions!
