Sandman,
The short answer is yes. Brent has an excellent article on that [url=https://www.evergreengardenworks.com/leafsize.htm]here.[/url]
He starts it off with this point:
In Brents article he wrote:
Reducing the size of leaves and the distance between them (the internodes) is the primary focus of the final training of bonsai. This comes after years of developing the trunk, the nebari, and the branches.
Are you at that point? If not you have plenty of time to research and become familiar with the techniques involved.
