The apex of the tree after the pruning. I have pruned out all unwanted growth. All the cuts on the tree were sealed with Kiyonal sealant. This preventive sealant is especially important because the heat at this time of year (summer) can otherwise dry out cut tips and cause die back of branches.

The top of the tree is looking more like what I envision for the future shohin. I tried to make the bottom of this pictur the approximate line at which I would layer the tree.
