RE: New Home for a Young Cherry Tree [Bonsai]
Great, detailed, informative post. I like the shape of the cherry tree with the one main branch. It will be fun to watch this one grow next summer

Yeah, so far that is all natural shape without any pruning. The original cutting was snipped on both sides, so it must have sent all growth out through that one single branch to become the new central leader.
My apple trees seem to do the same thing. The strongest node get the most growth, and one node under the branch forms a new branch. If top branch dies, then it becomes the new leader.
Thanks again for picking the cool name for this tree. It still very much resembles a soda straw.
