I personally would not try a Mulberry Bonsai of any size. I tend toward potted trees that have small leaves and a twiggy nature. Its easier to keep them under control. But, like I said, its possible.

Get out the pruning shears.

I'm attaching a photo of a ginko tree forest I started about 40 years ago. There are 5 trees; the tallest is about 2 feet. The second photo is a Hedge maple trio - age about 15 years and height is 12 inches.

In most cases, it takes hundreds of years for a tree to develop a mature looking trunk.
