hi Mark, a picture of the tree would help, but i would say it would be ok to trim the tree & if you wish to shape some branches you will need to buy some alluminium wire at the correct thickness for the branch to be bent. the main trunk may be too thick to bend?

If you forget your history, you will repeat your mistakes! RoyH

Heyup Geordie.

As Roy says, no-one can really advise about styling sight unseen so try to get in-focus pics against a plain background for us. Do you have the variety name of your tree? Is it deciduous.

My name is Don and I'm a bonsaiholic.
My imaginary friend Givitago takes over when I'm not sure of myself in print. He's not a complete fool - several bits are missing.
