I like what you did, often times, they are better to wire with all that mess out of the way. Nice going!

Thanks, it's not much to look at, but this little tree has sentimental value.

Old thread I’m gonna hijack. I got a nice sized P.afra the base is about a 7” around. I wanna turn this into a Jim smith style tree with layers of pads. I need help picking a front and a new apex. I just reported it in a 14” container. Any tips? 
I’m thinking this guy as the new leader. Or should I pick the biggest branch to lead? Should I chop all the rest? It could make a cool broom style but... Jim Smith...
How are all your trees doing? Thanks!!

Its going to be a lot of work and time to make that an informal upright. I would keep it as a broom and clean up the structure first.
Leave the leggy growth on the branches you dont remove until you get back budding. Once you get a decent amount of back budding, cut the leggy stuff back.
Start maint. Pruning back to two nodes to develop ramification. I fertilize heavy with miracle grow every week as well as slow release on the soil. I also water mine quite a bit. I have an informal upright porty that I have been slowly cutting back I got a few months ago, if you would like to see it.

Should start your own thread dude.
This one isn't that old anyway.
People post a tree and update it 5 years later, sometimes.
