Boy, I didn't see that curved trunk coming based on the first few pictures. That will look nice as time goes on. I wired my branches down to grow more laterally, but it seems like clip n grow would work well for this species. What are your future plans for developing this tree?

Excellent work - the tree looks far better. The movement of the trunk, while somewhat dull before, is now very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.

If you get a new branch starting low on the trunk, I would suggest letting it grow as a sacrifice branch. Tree looks healthy.

No! That is a lovely base now.
Instead, work on pulling the branches down a bit -- especially that lower one. Prune heavily to see if you gt new sprouts, but I think simply pulling the branches down will be sufficient.

Nice tree. But in the first shot there seems to be a reverse taper at the base of the trunk. Which is why,I think, an air layer was suggested. I cannot agree with Jim that it is a lovely base now:unless I am going blind,which is not beyond the bounds of possibility.
