Hello

Looking for how to design a bonsai Euonymus Alatus, I came across your website. Wow… !
Unfortunately I don’t speak English, so deepl (https://www.deepl.com/translator/) will help me and hope that he will translate understandably. I would be very happy to receive a reply.
I am a bonsai beginner, enjoy the trees but don’t really have a green thumb.
Since we have cats as pets and live in an apartment, I can’t really do this as a hobby either. Nevertheless, I still have 2 ornamental apple that stand on the terrace and for 5 years a Euonymus Alatus, which I have from spring until autumn, until the leaves have fallen, in the community garden in wind and weather. If it is strong winds, storms or hail, then I put the tree under a canopy where it is somewhat sheltered.
In February I take the bonsai out of the pot, scrape and wash off the soil, cut back the roots and pot the alatus again in the same bowl (plastic) with fresh soil.
Either before or after repotting I prune the Euonymus, but here I have problems, because I do not know how, I do this by gut feeling. I like the tree, have joy in it and not only in autumn when it glows fiery red, but for a master like you, this is probably not a real bonsai and you would certainly get something quite beautiful out of it.
I would like to do that too, but I have no idea how to do it. I stand in front of the tree, look at it from all sides, but no idea comes to me, I do not have the eye, not the experience, not the necessary knowhow to create something even more beautiful out of this strong tree. Nothing abstract, but a natural form, like a tree.
Although the Alatus has many blossoms year after year, in the end I have hardly any fruit, the blossoms fall off. Why could that be? There are also often ants on the tree, but there are not many, but I do not see aphids.
I would be very happy if you could guide me a bit on when to do what.
Wire I do not really want, have no real experience in it and yet I am aware that only with it you can really affect the tree. So far I have only with cutting, kept the tree in “shape”.

You can write comments there if you want, but you can also upload photos.

The first pictures are from the terrace where I winter the tree in a prepared box every year. These pictures are from January 2022. The autumn splendor is in its last stages, so the leaves are already falling and these photos are from about mid-November 2022. The photo with the root pruning is from February 2023 and the other photos are from now 22 June 23.

It would be a pleasure to hear from you
Many greetings from Switzerland
