Bonsai Master Andy Rutledge website is no longer working and Andy had an excellent article titled “For Beginners: Trunk Chopping 101 For Deciduous Trees” on it. Andy’s article had a lot of great information in it and it was to good to let it pass away into nothingness. So I retrieved the information and have converted it into a pdf file for everyone to use if they want. The file will reside on this website going forward. You may download the file and save if you like. This article is shown on the Chopping Trees under Bonsai Basics.
