BRTs can be trimmed at any time during the growing season.
Cut extended branches to an outside turn, the tree naturally grows in a zigzag pattern.
Reduce the long two first branches to form a nice silhouette as far as design goes.
Your wiring skills could improve a lot in my opinion.
Keep it alive BRTs are nice trees.

How far back should I cut the first two branches?

Where in the wiring needs improvement?
