That branch is quite long and will be cut back in the fall or maybe removed. This was the first wiring since I got the tree from @Vin and it will need a lot more. I was just trying to establish some structure. I has a long way to go.

Wire and trim tomorrow:

After 25 pounds of wire:

About a year or so ago, @Vin gave me this awesome trident. It grew very well this year and I am fixing to give it trim and some wire

Update:

I think they were in the tubs for couple of years. Probably could have moved the sooner, but I did not have the pots. They could be pruned all summer, I don't have the time right now so Sping and late Summer/ Fall. Our club usually has a showds them, so it is usually to get them ready for that.

Spring trim:

Needs a haircut:

Looking good, so far:

For Carol83: Several years ago, Carrol sent this sarsuki to me. It has the tiniest flowers and leaves. This year it has two shades of flowers, light pink and purplish pink. I think this one is my favorite.

Here is the whole tree.

It is normal, 2 weeks is about it for them.

I have had good luck cutting the branch from underneath, also.

I cut it back pretty far last year, only got one flower.

We got 6 inches and counting, how much did you get CJR? Here's Bigfoot: There is actually more snow, this was taken earlier today.

Thanks, Carol, I miss being around here ,too. Got a promotion at work. Unfortunately, it is a giant time suck.

Thanks, Brian!

It has been a while since I have updated this thread. Today i had some rare free time so I unwired, trimmed, and rewired. Starting to get some decent ramification.

Here it is now. It seems to be closing over the epoxy.
