In this method, new shoots that appear in areas where there should be no branches are pinched out to maintain the look of the Bonsai and to help promote thicker foliage.
For pruning deciduous Bonsai such as maple trees or elm trees, make sure you use sharp scissors, but cut only using the scissors' tip.
