If the forced secondary buds are not found in time without thinning, it is easy to grow verticillate branches, and it is easy to lose taper due to expansion in the later stage of growth. In this case, the effect of cutting buds is very obvious: it can balance the time of budding and is more conducive to controlling the shape.
Pruning and balancing in spring: Strictly speaking, pruning and picking buds in spring is a job of pruning and reshaping plants, making bonsai more compact, forming an elegant tree shape and balancing tree potential. Each tree bud is strong or weak, more or less. Pruning follows the principle that strong buds are cut more, medium buds are cut weakly, and weak buds are not cut. Only two buds are left at a bud head, which ensures the growth direction of branches and removes the strongest and weakest buds. In other words, if the tree is relatively stable, as long as the tree is not messy, it should be pruned less or not.
Spring buds grow fast and autumn buds grow slowly. Sometimes, if you want to make the branches grow longer, don't cut off the buds in spring, let them grow naturally and do the storage work. If you want to branch, trim the buds.
