One needs to understand the underlying growth principles and how to maximize such growth, towards good trunk development, and initial styling all that will not take place in a bonsai pot.
The approach that I would like to take is that of explaining and applying plant growth principles so that you may apply these principles and concepts to your particular situation.
top pruning without root pruning gives the opposite effect. This will reduce the number of buds and sites for growth and will result in larger leaves, long intenodes and rampant coarse growth. For more information on this topic see Growth Principles.
