Thanks for the interest. So i went running outside since i didn't make pictures after the last touch up. The tree went back to green, moderately healthy in my opinion. There is some backbudding but not as much as usual. Just wired and selected branches a few weeks ago. Since no work was done this year (tree must get healthy first) the tree is outgrowing its silhouet and there are overly long needles. I was considering repotting this tree and scrolling back in this topic learned that i repotted in 2015, so i might just dive in. Repotting will give me the option to view the state of the roots and give it a more free draining mix and give it a tilt. Giving it a smaller training pot would benefit the more frequent drying out and start to build a smaller and compact rootball for the future.
The branches still need tweaking when i see the pictures taken and in the long run more branches must be eliminated.
