"Parallel branches" refer to two branches that extend from the same side of the trunk, overlapping each other vertically. In bonsai, having parallel branches can result in a lack of variation in the tree form, making it less natural and aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, if branches of the same size grow parallel to each other, one branch may receive less sunlight and rain, which can hinder its growth. Therefore, when pruning "parallel branches", it's recommended not to simply cut off the lower branch from the start. Instead, look at the overall tree form and decide whether to cut the upper or lower parallel branch. This approach makes it easier for beginners to prune parallel branches. Pruning bonsai requires careful consideration. Look at the entire tree form and consider the balance when pruning.
