Bonsai absolutely require regular trimming and training to maintain their shape and style. The specific technique for your tree would depend on what kind of plant has been used and on the style it has been trained into. You
might wish to
look at a book on pruning techniques for bonsai or perhaps you might
contact
the American Bonsai Society, c/o Patricia DeGroot, P.O.
Box 1136, Puyallup, WA 98371-1136, (206) 841-8992;
web site: http://www.absbonsai.org/ They have several
publications available to help you learn to care for your
bonsai. You might also find some helpful information through
the Internet Bonsai Club
http://users.nbn.net/~herrfam/... web site. I hope this
helps.
