This is one of too many Benjaminas. They propagate far too easy for my lizard brain's good.

This tree needs a reduction in foliage and upward growing branches in the upper section. That should help balance out the growth between top and bottom, push some back budding to occur, and let the lower foliage get some proper light.

Bonsai is a Japanese art form which utilizes cultivation techniques to produce, in containers, small trees that mimic the shape and scale of full size trees. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penzai or penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese Hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years.
