looking forward to seeing it wired too!
Well that's not a thing that's going to impress you really.
Most of the branches are leggy, but have points of back buds/shoots to cut back to.
Thing is, those shoots aren't strong enough to support the branches.
I've also had to leave a good deal of downwards and upwards growth, for this reason
as well as it will be getting repotted next Spring
So I'm leaving everything as is for now.
3rd branch up on the right has a copper wire bandaid around a split fork in the branch.
The entire top will be jinned once I'm happy with recovery from repotting.
I'm pretty comfortable with # 10, 12 and 14 copper wire, but once I get smaller than 14
I prefer aluminum. At least with shimpaku.
It'll have a better profile in 5 years
