Thanks for your advice. You would keep all these branches in the final design?I wouldn’t recommend taking any more off at this point, especially if you’re headed into winter. When it does fill in a bit more, it would help the design if you removed the foliage hanging below the branch lines (outlined in red). Later, you might consider adding more movement to some of the branches (yellow arrows), and make an apex. Apices are difficult to style at first, until you realize it’s simply another pad.

Too early to tell, but I definitely wouldn’t be taking any more off now. Let it grow into the design, and take another look in 6 months or so. If you get too hasty, you could end up losing the tree.Thanks for your advice. You would keep all these branches in the final design?
