Masterpiece
Unwired pruned a little and now rewired the future trunk and delicate primary branches to set the angles.
Had to warp the trunk a little while still so young to get 3d going (left right back etc) since the new trunk line was a former shoot/branch witch grows left - right only apex is left unwired to let it grow some more cus I don't want to break it.
Im aware this way might take years and years and from 10 years from now the tree might already outgrew its outline I have in mind now but it's a fun project to get known with this species!
Also from this point I got the branches where I want them and now I'll try to manage the foliage to stay as close as I can and see where we end up with in a couple years!
1: front?
2: from above
3: detail of the wires and primary's (yeah not the nicest wiring but had to be carefull not to break the delicate twigs)
4: with beer can for size refference
You might notice that the trunk section after the second branch is straight I'll try to correct that over the coming seasons and take my time with this little fellow!
