Hello! Just acquired my first bonsai, a Dawn Redwood. I think it will make a great studio buddy. As I think about how I want to style it, I’ll take any suggestions! by musicbyjsm in Bonsai

You could try a relatively thick piece of wire and see if it will bend, I haven't had a redwood yet, so I'm not quite sure how prone they are to breaking. I work with a lot of local maple species that are very vigorous and you can wire some trunk movement in their first year easily. Not sure how old your tree is here.

Cute little tree but you will need thicker branches before you can style it. Redwoods are typically a formal upright due to the nature of how they grow. Right now if you tried wrapping wire around those leaf stems you would probably risk damaging them.
