I defoliated all the leaves to enable us to see the struc-
ture of the tree. (top right)
I thought making a better bonsai would require dras-
tic action: Separating the two trunks, “husband and
wife,” by splitting the base of the trunk and creating
two trees instead. To analyze this possibility, first I
washed off all the bonsai mix to get a better picture
on the base and the roots. (top left)
The base and root in the front would belong to the
small plant on the left.

The photos of the splitting process are shown above.
