This Is the first piece of material I ever bought. I bought it from a local landscape nursery for $6 about 6 years ago. It was also the first tree I ever attempted to wire which is painfully obviously by looking at the first picture.
I had it looking pretty good 3 years go but I sheared the top of the pads to make them look flat and the whole tree became week and then responded with juvenile foliage throughout the whole tree. (Don't do this beginners)
The third pic was after getting healthy again and before cleaning out the weak foliage a few month ago. The last pic was after work done last nigh. The lowest branch crossing the trunk will be jinned later. There is something not quite right about the shape of the top canopy but I can't put my finger on it. It also needs a shallower pot.
Suggestions to make this tree better are welcome.
