Thanks, Anthony. So you would simply let the leader grow? All my work is done but a parafilm wrap. I just experienced awesome covering up of a smaller wound one year on japanese quince when I wrapped it, so it's why I like to wrap.@Osoyoung
please stay as you are. Helpful
Good Day

* Wood preserver - ? - even one of the of the older trees with a cavity at the base, grew cambium around the wood and
was going to seal and refatten, before fridge death. You might be doing too much.
Well, Anthony, I wrapped and treated the wood know this on like I planned. Just removed wire from the leader. It's active. Wire bit in.Yes, Thumbless, the Celtis l. heals once it is actively growing.
Nothing special needs to be done [ down here, Tropics ] hopefully it is the same for you.
Good Day

Pruned some branches back. I'd like my thread graft to bond by next year. Also focusing on a good clean closed chop wound. I replaced the black tape. Not much action yet. The carved wood is still dry and solid though. I've unwired and rewired the leader at least twice already. It's thickened that many times.

@Giga My reasoning was to keep it growing straight and high above to grow strong and shade little of what's below and nearby. I thought that it'd be a good idea since I'll not be cutting it for a while. I'm going to place the tree in a larger pot so it could be maybe 2 years more before I chop it again. By then it might be 6 to 7 feet tall. Also, space side ways is limited, but vertically the "sky is the limit." Sort of. Ultimately, the wiring on the leader is on the loose side, so it shouldn't be much constrictive. I keep removing it and moving it further up where the leader tends to flop over.
Fertilizing. Expect to see more leaves. More has just started to grow after the pruning.Martin,
I would suggest boosting for more foliage. Lots more foliage.
To heal and thicken.
Thanks for taking the time to re-image, it is much appreciated.
Will keep on observing as the year goes by.
Good Day
