I received this tree today. I have a general idea of how I'd like to style it, but I was wondering if anyone had suggestions without knowing what I had planned for it.
The first branches appear to be bar branches, but I'm wondering how long it takes for the tree to actually start a reverse taper -- if I leave it for another year, will be greatly affect the tree? I was told this species is very slow-growing.
Let me know what you think![Big Grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
