Similar exposure, same feeding, same watering, same substrate...but different leaf size because different defoliation and pruning schedule.

Update 21/11/2023

A little bit of pruning here and there...I keep on learning of the mistakes: you can't let the wire so long time in that branches, so I get rid of them and let start new ones.

It looks like many years of work. I like it. Question: how do you (how will you) address the reverse taper in the middle of the trunk?

I won't, I like it as it is. Maybe, when the branch that is in that area thicken it will looks more natural.
