Following my guide whom I posted earlier, I cut some unwanted branches, buds and leaves.

I already cut this tree before that is why the mark of it is showing. I elevated it a bit to show the root, it also exposed the part of trunk that is previously covered by soil. Being covered by soil for a long time gives the trunk a matured look. I also tied copper wire to some of the branches. The selected tree almost looks like a bonsai already because it has been in the small pot long ago.
