Very nice Brazilian. If I were into tropicals I think these would be at the top of my list.
Arakawa being worked on and wires removed.

Have you considered this instead? Maybe growing out a cascading branch as well?
The branches on the right and in the apex are way too straight imo. If you could add some more movement I think that would improve the over all image. It may also just be the 2D picture. Still a cool tree in a very nice pot though.
And since I’m lame and only have a few trees, one I’ve posted on the forums over and over

@Cadillactaste had suggested repotting it as a cascade, an idea which I like and will do in Springtime . A styling trim will also be necessary so...thanks!

This is the tree thread, to post here, you must include a photo of one of your trees. See the OP...

Work in progress: Shohin (mame?) sized Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea ‘Helmond Pillar’ . Very awkward to work with, the growth is strongly fastigiate (it's a columnar variety) and even the new shoots are very brittle and prone to snapping / dying when wired. This one may take some time to get right.

Colorado blue spruce, nursery material, just worked on with Todd Schlafer.

Plan is to wait now for back budding. All branches will be brought in much shorter as time generates back budding.

Nice. Did a little maintenance on a trident down here...this tree just does not photograph well. The pot sure does though.

Really overdue to give this some lovin. Haven’t touched it for about three years. Haven’t really been able to see the way forward, think I finally saw it a couple days ago.

Maple leaf on a pencil thick tree. Hmm, may not be the best species choice,,,
Looks like it has the makings of something really nice, looking forward to seeing what you do with it. This is my potentilla (work in progress again) after a hard cutback a few days age.
Does anyone out there defoliate potentillas?

Hawthorn this morning. That right side is still struggling to fill out after some big pruning decisions several years ago.

Here are few projects I’m working on, 2 JM weepers. One was hit by lightning I think it looks cool gives it character and I’m thing on leaving the dead branches for more flavor.
