Beautiful tree and a great progression over the seasons.
Nice work - I do agree with Ken though that the top section looks a bit under-done.

I like the flow and movement of the trunk from the ground to the apex. The movement of the three red lines makes the tree flow nicely to the left. I know you are still growing it, but when you pot it to its final pot, I would the middle of the trunk over to the vertical black line to balance the direction to the left. I would also shorten the apex and first right hand branch as indicated by the curved black line. Keep the branch layers and apex full and rounded to give a more natural feel.
