Hi

I have two unshaped bonsais of Syzygium cumini approx. 2 years old please suggest bonsai style according to current shape which required less pruning. Unfortunately I don't have the digital camera so I post illustrations of my bonsai.

Looks like a multitrunk and a broom style, as you drawed it.

But really, try to get an image of your trees (camera/phone/etc) so we can help!

Nice drawings by the way, best starting point is to pinch the growth tips perhaps, to get a closer branch structure.

#1 will make a perfect sankan stlye (3 trunk clump) the trunks need to vary in hieght and thickness to correctly pull off this stlye
#2 is a tough one. the issue is that the branches all spread from the same area on the trunk. if possible use the weakest growing limb as the first branch,next would be to wire the limb with the heaviest growth as your new leader(trunk) and loose the third . not having a clear pic makes this one hard to know if it will work...best of luck

if you have a cell phone camera you can take a pic and email it to your computer and post it then . i know the quality might not be great but thats how i started... ;)
