This first picture shows how the tree was damaged from the
shipping. This was how it looked when I first received the tree. The top of the
tree was broken and only about a half of the lower branches were
left.
Since this tree had missed the top, I had no choice
but to redesigned and decided for a new shape..
The design was done by first selecting the (first, second
and back) branches. Since the tree had no apex, I decided to use a sub-branch
from the back branch to graft into the top for a new apex.
The tree grew well. During the years, the tree was
constantly pinched to introduce ramification
