Here is an update on this tree. I repotted it into a Horst Heinzelrieter pot that suits it better shape wise. I was able to get almost all of the old crappy soil out, and did some branch reductions at that time. I then let it grow out the rest of the summer, and just finished doing the final reduction and wiring for this season. I didn't take it down as low as the corky bark part, but it feels much more in sync with the lower part, now that it's shorter, and not as heavy branched. I was able to retain the gnarly feeling of the tree by leaving all the lumpy parts. It will of course need to fill back in a bit...
I have not decided if this is the image I'll retain, but it's a nice way station at any rate. I believe it's better at least than when it started.... What say you?
