I have a couple of nice little Bonsai starters (Dwarf Cherry, Dwarf Jade) I received from a garden center without any training. The plants are likely 2-3 year old cuttings about 6" in height. I looks like the suppliers cut the apexes so that there are were two equal sized apexes growing about 3" from the top.
I am trying to bring the trunk back into a single-tapered form so I have either removed or wired the second apex but now I am left with a thick knob/fork. Will these trunks eventually thicken up to hide some of this? I was planning on trying to shear these forks into a single cut once the tree has recovered a bit. Is there some better techniques for bringing trident-shaped forks back into single tapered trunks? Attached are some pictures.
