I purchased a winged elm about 6 months ago that supposedly was a root cutting. This will be a progression of this tree, which I'm trying to style like an old Oak you'd find in the middle of a field.
Here is an inspiration of what I'm going for
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures when I got it but a few days ago I defoliated, pruned, and wired it up for the first time.
Before defoliation
After defoliation, before pruning
The picture below is what became the front
After pruning and wiring. First picture is current front
I'll be repotting probably into the same pot next spring to continue developing the primary branches and then into some kind of thin oval pot the following spring.
