Hit these all pretty hard. Gonna be a few pics. Maybe a few too many!

That windswept joint.

Hard?
All you gotta do is remove everything outside of >, or whatever your windforce's shape. Only branches within that angle are kept, leaves are allowed a bit more leeway.

And more of those tiny details.20200329_120456.jpg

Down to one.20200329_120603.jpg

Everything is very firmly attached on these right now.
Plucking off stuff easily while other stuff stays intact.
Brushing it, knocking it, can't break things.
Good time to work.

Carved what I could out of that thick center.
With pruners and cuticle cutters.

Don't forget cuticle cutters get between opposite V's better than anything can!

This winter was so mild, my 2 smallest things, this, and mini-pimpin the shimpaku both got noticably more healthy thru winter.

Probly wouldn't have been so if they were in a garage.

Having not exactly taken the last 2 winters of 17-18 and 18-19 well, and whatever made this go yellow last year, has had me leaving it alone.

Before.

And some of those tiny details!

A nice new fattie trident from the trunk, indicating the health enough to operate.

The up bud was removed, the large one will be watched and likely removed before fall growth, to keep the low one.

And removed buds to allow leaving this section for a while. The top leaf was left, but the bud removed.
