When pruning golden marbles, you need to pay attention to the following issues:

Golden marbles have strong germination and need to be pruned frequently, especially for sculptural bonsais.

New branches and buds sprouting from the roots can be removed at any time during the growth period to avoid affecting the tree shape and consuming too much nutrients.

Usually thinning branches is the main method, supplemented by light pruning, and combined with bud topping. Focus on pruning off inner branches, overlapping branches, upright branches, cross branches, diseased branches, etc.

For leggy branches, do not keep them on prosperous trees. Old and weak trees or when there are missing branches in a certain part can be kept. They can be topping after they have grown to a certain height.

Tipping should be used from the fruit setting stage to the young fruit expansion stage to control the germination of new shoots and avoid fruit drop due to nutritional imbalance.

For fruit-bearing branches in the current year, the buds below the fruiting node should be thinned out, and the buds above the fruiting node should be counted from the fruiting node, leaving 4 leaves for topping.

During the flowering and fruiting period, attention should also be paid to thinning out flowers and fruits, and removing deformed, diseased and insect-infested flowers and fruits, and even excessive fruits, so that the fruits are evenly distributed.
