I can think of only one word: magnificent! Please keep us updated. Regards.
PS: how did you take the second photo, please? Would I be right in thinking that it was flash off? Thank you.

Thanks all!
What are your opinions on reporting this? Should it be left to recover? Or will I get away with getting it into a pot 3/4 the existing tub..haven't looked at the roots yet.
So far as developing it its goes assuming I can get a good program in place and a better understanding of the species I should be right, I am still not 100% on how the respond to candle cutting, needle plucking and shoot selection as I have had mixed results on some other trees..
Daviet both photos are with flash of...

Nice work

Much improved.
Now you just need to carve down where the old flat cut was to get it looking a little more natural

Great job Eliass, it has changed dramatically. Needs carving on the trunk though as it looks a little like an old lady in a bustle with her bum sticking out.
