Bonsai Crafty Tip How to reduce leaf size: first check the species of your tree to make sure you can safely defoliate it. Then in the beginning of the growing season, defoliate the tree completely. When the leaves start to grow back, begin picking them off every time they get about half the normal size. Doing this continually will reduce the amount of energy the tree has to work with and therefore it will begin to produce smaller leaves.Hope this was helpful, and come and see us sometime.
