Anybody familiar with JWP 'Acto Goyo'

Here is my little Myojo today.

Wait a minute...no graft?
You know, as I look at the thumbnail, which puts the tree at a distance, it appears
the tree would benefit from tilting to the right next time you shorten the root ball some more.
Which of the 2 right branches (one is positioned at 2 O'Clock) has the closest in foliage?

Here’s the other side…actually a slight indentation….it will be interesting to see what the future holds here. May need to monkey a bit with it.

Thanks, that‘s for sure

Both have inner foliage at almost the very same place. When we did branch reductions, about 1/3 of the branches went away, knowing full well even more have to go. … and that there will need to be energy balancing to force the growth inward if possible. (and so far it seems to be reacting well). Gonna be another whole cycle to square this tree away. (Given it makes it this year )

Thanks

Thanks deep sea diver I'm pretty clueless about posting anything on this site or any site for that matter I'm in zone 4. Temps swing 130 degrees from summer to winter so my trees are behind most people.

There's gotta be some good scions in here. Didn't have a cultivar name on it when I bought it.
Recant...probably more like 12 ft tall. I'm not getting on a ladder to measure it.

Nursery find two weeks ago.... I did some light pruning right away seems healthy how far do I push it? It's a mugo with some of the smallest needles I've ever seen

It has good structure....I don't want to push my luck with this one

I would hold off on Mugo work for a month or two. This guide someone put together is the best info I have seen.

How about some bud pinching

Trying to get back on track with the subject, I put my Atco goyo in the ground today where a maple had recently been lifted.
If it is successful I will collect info from this thread and start a progression thread for it.

Put it on a 12x12" tile today after removing 60% of the soil but no roots. One less pot on my deck
