Regularly prune new growth. You can trim it into natural shapes, cloud shapes, mushroom shapes, etc. according to your personal preferences. It can also be trimmed into a melon seed-like shape. Avoid trimming into a round shape as it looks dull and tacky.

Pruning

All clustered branches, crossing branches, inward branches, overlapping branches, parallel branches, and branches growing like a tree should be cut off. You may also consider pruning the top branches. In special circumstances, one or two branches should be retained to pave the way for future shaping.
