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.

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