I just started wiring this tonight as it had been getting neglected .Its been recovering for 2 years after getting blown off the bench in a storm and snapping several limbs. When it snapped I lost most of the top so Im left with 2 awkward stubs which have now resprouted After after a good growing season last year its now looking healthier so I thought it was about time for working it again.
Id be grateful for any advice or criticism please! Its so brittle Im cautious about bending it too much.

Throw it into a nice shallower round pot and it'll be lookin pretty! the movement is nice in the trunk too! but the stub just above the second branch is too much from that side, it doesn't taper very smoothly. (I also think it would look good with just the first branch and nothing else but thats just me lol)

Yes, very nice tree.

This variety of Prunus can be trained by clip-and-grow too. That's the kind of technique I would like to master, especially for such a tree, to give the design a "natural" look...
