The time it takes to develop the shapes and train the branches of our bonsai trees is often painfully long. And it will be worse if we make a wrong cut after months of waiting for the bonsai tree to finally has its branches developed as trained.
During the developing and training stage, we surely want our bonsai trees to grow as fast as possible, if not overnight. There are several things we can do to help our bonsai trees to grow and develop it branches faster, and one of these is cutting away all flower buds before they start to bloom.
Yes, I know this is not easy. It is just too cruel to cut away all the buds that will blossom into beautiful flowers. But if you really want your bonsai tree to grow as fast as possible, then you better cut away all the flower buds, so to avoid your tree from spending most of its energy and nutrients on the blossoms.
