Flamingo Maple

[Rawman]

Hallo.

So I have accidentaly buy Acer Negundo Flamingo what I found after it got leaves.
It cost me something like 5$ - 4£ - 120Kč because it was seriously neglaced with only one branch and nobody known what it really was without leaves.
The reason I bought it was interesting root base and lack of material to play with.
So now I am trying to shaoe it little bit like leterati stile, keeping it alive and hoping it will backshot somwhere near the base.
Any advices to change?

If you bent and wired that drastically curved branch at the top don’t count on it living. Maples are not pines. Their wood is brittle and snaps easily. The living cambium on top of the wood is thin and with forced drastic bending is usually compromised so it can’t transfer water/etc.

It's been mont and something ant it from buds to leaves. I dont say it will definitely survive, but for some reason it is still trying.
