After mid summer cutback. Evolving well. Carefully folded two thicker parallel branches in the mid section away from each other, one forward, the other pointing backward. Now aiming for more ramification.
After light spring care by pruning most of the growing tips. It's recovering well.
Wired a nicely elongated lower right branch & shaped several others for a nicer depth view.
The focus is on backbudding & strengthening the middle section. Next spring, the apex gets a harder cut back.
Acquisition, after emergency repot, since the tree appeared to be in trouble
