In this video, Walter Pall talks about some ways to overcome issues with the trunk of a Bonsai - fixing thin or thick sections for example. Best is to simply select an alternative tree if you can :) The video is part of a video series to celebrate Bonsai Empire's 25th anniversary. Bonsai Empire began in 2000 as a small online platform dedicated to sharing the art and knowledge of bonsai. Over the years, it has grown into a global hub for bonsai enthusiasts, offering high-quality tutorials, in-depth courses, and expert guidance to support learners at every stage.
