I have a 6 year old tiger bark that I got from a nursery earlier this summer. I potted him then left him alone. When he arrived there was norhing on one side of the tree. 1) are the branches too thick to wire and move to the other side? 2) two branches in the same spot ok or choose one to keep? 3) how can I clean up the air roots?

Every single branch on the tree can still be wired. Just be carefull that you do not wire branches across the main trunk; They should stay in the general area where they com efrom the trunk.

Not sure what you want to do with the air roots.

Air roots have little stringy roots coming off them. Can I remove them?

Oh; They are just side-roots. You could remove them if you find them disturbing.
