Thanks @CasAH .Another nice tree.
Over this winter I will start to reduce the deadwood volume and create movement and difference in the heights. I am slow to remove deadwood and I agree that some action needs to be taken to advance the design. I'll state first by making sure the angle and front are the best for the tree and then I'll start to reduce.I really like your RMJ, chicago. You've done a nice job styling it and your choice for a semi-cascade was a good one, I think. My only criticism is that much of the deadwood is stalk-straight and is more or less all the same length. Also, much of it seems to pull my eye away from the flow of the tree. I am a big fan of deadwood so I'm not usually one to suggest that someone should remove it. But, I think, in this case, less could be more. Thanks for sharing and keep us posted of it's development.

You are planning on re-potting it Spring of 2022?The tree is growing strong and this Oct. In October I will detail wire and report next spring.View attachment 396557
Yes re potting in spring 2022.You are planning on re-potting it Spring of 2022?
Oh ok. I figured that's what you meant... not "report"Yes re potting in spring 2022.
Definitely the final front is some where in this area and a few degrees in some cw or ccw direction.Personally might have suggested shorten of bottom Rt jin as was done. Presentation angle question: perhaps rotate tree back CCW so bottom jin under foliage visible again? Valuable asset now hidden from view. Great pot. Made by who?
