Tree is doing great! Added a fert bag the other day. Looking healthy. May double up the fertilizer into the summer.

Yes, this is definitely the front. No questions asked. Going to go for a nice field style tree with a rounded canopy.

This was repotted this spring and is doing very nicely. Pruned back and wired the one low branch.

Unwired today. Branch held nicely. Hoping for a good prune next year on that branch and others. Top structure seems to be progressing naturally. Good root flare. Needs another repot.

Update. Swelling. Low branch needs better movement. Will prune with that in mind this year.

Daughter picked up and dropped pot and it clipped a paver and cracked... slip potted it into a spare grow box for now. Thankfully not a particularly special pot.

End of year. Happy with the new structure after the summer prune. Next year I'll let it grow out... maybe two years given the size of the grow box it's in. Plenty of room to run. I did root a cutting from this so I'll have another one to play with. I'll likely take more cuttings next year after spring fertilization. Anyway... looking good. Wire was removed also. Time to go back out into the cold on the ground under the benches.

Side view... quite flat. Need to get some depth to the tree:
