Was that the finished tree?
I started doing a little light cleanup on my triple trunk California.

Preparing for winter, potting up the Prunus mume cuttings. Three flats roughly 150 overall. Better results to the root structure in finer propagation mix of 50/50 pumice and akadama. A sample of the roots below. Cuttings taken late spring after leaves hardened off. Best results with thicker cuttings. All were left with two leaves, 6-7 inch sections and cut just below a pair of buds.
They will go in the greenhouse for protection this year and will be sold at the end of the next growing season. I like to develop them a bit stronger before parting with them. The first few years I held back material to ensure that I would have lots of stock to develop and propagate. If others are considering cuttings I strongly suggest deeper flats, finer propagation mix and plenty of moisture. ( assuming excellent drainage ) I use the deeper Anderson flats with a larger pumice drainage layer undertake mix. Only two to three particles of depth in the drainage layer though.

Finally got my structure wiring done on my "Split Rock" Hinoki... got some tweaking to do, but my hands are done for the night. There are a couple branches I'm not a fan of that may end up being removed, too thick to bend at an angle I'd like without tearing the cambium.

Carved a daiza for a friend's stone. East Indian Rosewood.
Hamburger stone?
Sorry, could not help myself. Had a thought and can't unsee it now.

Awesome tree. This feels like it desperately wants to be a cascade

Did some cleanup on some developing trees:

Finished what I started. A week or so ago I removed some clutter from a juniper
It wasn't enough. One of those pix was still too cluttery.
So today. I ....finished.
Everyone need an uppity juniper.
Did some thinning.
Someone on here (forget who ?) Looked at this pic and suggested removing some branches that hid the trunk.
I consulted @Shibui for his opinion. He has some very good comments on consults. Very comprehensive and appreciated.
Taking that into consideration, I did remove a couple older branches.
He and I agree that 2D pix aren't the best. So I took some pix today of the tree rotated in a few views.
They are still 2d but at least better than none at all.
Granted C doesn't look much...
