Picked up this little guy a while back from my good friend @Stickroot. It’s gone through quite a transition in just a short time. Now I have some branches set and I’ll let it grow for another year. Enjoy!

Fast forward to this years work.
For anyone that cares, the nebari is about 15 inches.

Nice work. It looks like you are doing all the right things to the roots, the trunk taper, and the branch development. This could turn into a tresure.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. Most of the work was accomplished using information I learned right here on the Nut.

Now that's a pruning tool, right there!!!!

One of the tips I learned early on is to sand down the edges around a cut. That process really helps the callus to roll over the smooth surface.

I tried to think of a way to keep it and make it work but in the end it just seemed like a better idea to remove it early and not set it back another year.
