I have been waiting for advise on how to trim and train my Serissa because I really have no idea.  I asked on one of the bonsai sites I visit, and they just tell me not to touch it because if I look at it wrong it will die.  Ok, that is fine but how about some pointers on what direction to take the tree in.

I sat down with the tree last night and again tonight and started cutting the tree.  I added some wire and then removed some wire.  I had no idea where I was going or how I was going to get there.  I really thinned this tree out though.

After taking these two pictures and looking at them I realize that I have bumped a couple of the branches that I had wired and those are now out of position.  I have also noticed that I need to trim the left side some more.

I am learning so I do not mind looking back at the tree and seeing what I have done wrong.  I do know that when you first style a tree it looks bare and horrid sometimes.  As this tree is trained more branches will grow in and the tree will look fine.

Here are the images.
