I got this Ilex a while back and repotted it from the nursery pot last spring.
Left it alone for the summer.
Lost of lost leaves followed and then in the fall removed any dead branches.
I let it alone this winter to recover which resulted in some new growth inside this winter.
From here, I would like to selectively prune it back the larger growth to develop some structure over the summer growth.
Would like some advice/thoughts for potential cuts before I do. Thank you.
here are a few photos of it initially, the repot, and then the rest today from different angles.
Can anyone give a specific i.d.?

Ken

What were you thinking of doing with the lower right branch?
 
I had thought to keep it. Here is an image of my initial thoughts for basic structure for this spring along with keeping some of the smaller bramches seens for health.
