3. White bark pine bonsai is constantly changing from the base to the top, such as the thickness of the stem, the curvature of the stem, the position of the branches on the trunk, the texture and color of the bark, etc., where you think that the upper part of the trunk lacks change or the performance is ordinary, if you think that the height of the remaining section is not enough, in order to perfect coordination, stand the highest position of the branch to replace the top tip.
