it wasnt the right time of year to disturb the plant. you arent supposed to prune or repot into bonsai after the leaves have developed in the spring. if it was just a normal transplant maybe it would be ok. but i now know for sure that when potting up in a bonsai container, because you need to cut so many of the roots.
defoliating the tree makes the tree go into a dormant state for a short time and then helps it survive the trauma somehow.
i hope it develops into a nice specimin it looks nice now, but i cant wait till it grows out more
