Crown: Upper part of a tree where branches spread out from the trunk and define your bonsai silhouette.
Crowning is a process of limited the upper physical growth of the bonsai tree, whereby a wire is used to wrap around the plant to hold the growth of the branches and trunks. This would also help in rendering the desired shape of the plant.
The crown is now quite 'neutral', facing neither left or right distinctly (whereas before it faced towards the right giving a strong impression of movement in that direction). This gives the tree a more settled and 'rested' appearance.
