Zelkova ROR project

I've been working on this Zelkova for a few years now and wanted to start a thread to track progress and get some feedback.

2018:



Repotted this year and changed the angle:



I think I'll be planning a major chop/cutback sometime this year or next year depending on how fast it grows.

Poorly drawn possible future plan:

I like it, in your virtual, maybe a few smaller rocks of a similar character left of the tree/rock to evoke a rocky lakeshore scene?

Had some nice fall color earlier in the year and wired some primary branches. Planning to just let it grow for the coming year to thicken/close wounds.

Nice project.
I really like the future vision you have. Make sure you wire the branches when young to keep little movements a reality.
