Hello all,

I've just got this lovely privet bonsai.

I did some cleaning to see the structure of the tree.



I think, I should cut branch A. What about branch B should I wire it to be part of the design or should I cut it and focus only on the main trunk?

I cannot see any picture. But my general advice is to let a newly purshased tree grow wild for at least a year. If you get the care right and it adapts well to your care and climate you will have watched it so many hours that you can answer your design questions yourself.

I don't why the images were not showing in the post.
This is the tree before any pruning.

and this after

Thank you for your suggestion. I reattached the images in my reply below.

Whatever you do, do not keep it inside where it will die.
