Hi guys
I've been reading an article on bonsai4me.com and the one thing I don't understand from the pictures below, is if you prune back a branch hard like in the first picture, will it automatically fork into two new branches? Or do you have to cut above 2 buds, and that will create the fork?
Basically I'm just seeking clarity on how to get a branch to fork like this, where do you need to prune it back to?
