March 2015really nice, when was it collected?
After a year of collection by the collector. He explained his thoughts behind his decision. While not the conventional path with grow box, the tree is healthy. I plan to let a few or more grow seasons to pass and strong signs of growth before I make any changes.Cool. I see a grow box and a pot in your photos - has it been repotted once already, within a year or so of collection?
Summertime growth!

What are your plans for the deadwood ? And planting angle ??
The current angle is appropriate for my personal taste.What are your plans for the deadwood ? And planting angle ??
I don’t usually like to reduce deadwood so much but there is a section that is near the pot id grind and strip down , same with the deadwood piece that crescents upwards in front of that nice crown in the back. There also appears to be deadwood in between the foliage that will obviously take longer to bring out. I think overtime will be a design that can be framed more in the deadwood but tis a challenging piece of material and I think you’re off to a good start, I’d personally just like to see the foliage framed in the deadwood more .. the current design takes my eye to the deadwood then to the foliage .. just my opinion I’d love to see you bring the foliage into the deadwood vs having it compete against eachotherThe current angle is appropriate for my personal taste.
As for the deadwood, I don't feel the need yet to reduce more at this moment.
@Shogun610 what are your suggestions?
