New Mugo

I there, the summer slowly is ending, despite the repot the plant responded well with a good grow.
I am thinking to bent the left part down following the shape of the main branch.
What do you think ?

Very nice progression, doing very good!

That is an amazing tree! Wish we had mugos like that in the US...

What do you think ?

I like your idea to bend down that left branch, it could really "flow" if done right. It looked really good in post #12- looks like you took the guy wire off at some point?

Thank you Sir...
The idea draw in post n°12 was with the plant in a totally different angle, now is more vertical, the change was done because of the strange mono root that come from the bottom and from the fact that the branch are really really hard and I have no competence to bent them more straight without risks to broke them.
You have right, I started to bent back the branch, but at one times I have had some doubts and took off the wires, but now I am again convinced about bringing it back...
That's why I asked here an advice .
It's a strange plant, I continue to see the head of a Dragon on the dry part and I imagine the green as the body or something similar.

Other side




This part is an headache for me, I don't know if I can do some back budding in the red parts, but I don't think, so I don't know how recover this leggy part.
The one on the right is practically vertical.
Luckily is on the other part that I choose as a front but still not nice, I was thinking about another part of dry wood but I am not 100% sure.
