Yesterday I did some pruning and today I did some wiring. It's starting to look less like a landscaping shrub.
lol it is too big for my backdrop.
I started wiring from the bottom up. I'm about 1/4 of the way done. This will keep me busy for a while. I'm flattening and laying out the branches.
There is decent ramification but the first several internodes are all way too large. I've seen great backbudding this growing season so I'm optimistic for what's to come.
I think I finally have all of the branching down to twos.
Today I made some nicely concave cuts where jins had been. This tree has such vigorous sap flow and wound healing that I'm planning to use to smooth up sections of the main trunk so they're less "pointy."
I'm tempted to remove the upper trunk on our right side in the above photo.
