This tree has had a final trim.
The apex needs to develop a little more, and is due to have a bit more wiring because the new seasons branches have a mind of their own.
(I feel that the final presentation should be without wire if possible)
Height is 19cm (photos taken 6 weeks ago, Aug 14)
I am pleased with how the deadwood is developing and making the trunk the main feature, I expect the foliage canopy will require constant trimming and will benefit from occasional defoliation.
