wow, the roots, trunk and primary branch ahape are already appealing - it looks like your almost done... was that like a 3 hour session to get all that pruning/wiring/potting done?

Looking at the pics, I hear “I am groot!”

 

[Deep Sea Diver]

Good start.

Might want look over the tree and mark cartwheel areas for further branch reduction.

Also will find switching to copper wire will allow for more bend, control with no spring back.

Cheers
