If necessary, you can draw the shape to be trimmed first, then draw its growth form, and then trim it according to the figure.

After pruning the hard branches, you can tie up the plants according to the shape you want. This requires strong hands-on ability, and different binding directions need to be implemented according to different plant shapes of bougainvillea.
