How to 💪 thicken bonsai trunks | Trunk chop method

With the trunk chop method of course.
There are several methods to thicken the trunk of a bonsai, but the one I present today is the best and fastest method, especially for tropical bonsai.

The bonsai trunk chop method is also one of the most effective because it not only thickens the trunk of the bonsai, but at the same time gives us a very good taper.

Ficus bonsai is very receptive to such brutal methods, especially due to the very aggressive growth at the crown and root level.

BUT! CAUTION!
Before doing such operations, make sure that your bonsai is in a very good condition from a health point of view.

Let it grow freely long before making a bonsai trunk chop.
The more it is left to grow, the healthier it will grow after this operation.

Also, plant the bonsai in a large pot! Large and rapid growths at the leaf level mean at the same time massive growths at the root level.
So, if the bonsai does not have a generous space in which to grow roots, this method can become a problem.

Do not forget to take care of the bonsai, to water and fertilize it correctly, so as to eliminate any problem that may arise in such massive cuts.
