had to repot this gorgeous tree over the weekend. it was repotted 4 years ago.
it flowered last year for the 1st time. don't think it will flower this year with the repotting. it also got a serious prune about a month ago.

now i just want to see how it recovers from the repotting and see how it looks when all the new growth is established.
the smaller branch needs a lot of new branches so i will see what i can use of the new growth.
it is already mostly 'n a broom style, so it just needs to fill in.
this is already a well established tree, so i do not want to go to drastic with changing the style.
mid to end October after this growing spell, i will wire some branches and only then really see what still needs to be done.
i do think the proportions are ok, so now just to do some "fine-tuning"
the tree is currently about 1,6m tall and has a impressive trunk base
I will ask for advise when i get to the wiring as i have no experience with wiring yet
