The tree could now be planted into a bonsai training pot to begin slower growing. All the wire was taken off and the apex transition was also adressed by thinning the shoulders from the chop.
All the cuts were sealed and the tree planted. The tree now stands more erect, but I really liked it with a more slanting style. Maybe next year I can allow the left side to be planted deeper.
The tree is about two inches taller now, and the undercut shoulder is gone. There is much more flare on the right and left to expose but roots need to fill in and thicken there for the next big reveal.
Pruned, de-wired, re-wired, planted and done.....for now.
