Hi Ralph,
Just looking at your tree for the first time, read the whole tread and must say that progress is seen here, but.....
I have some problems with your tree, first of all, hows the nebari? As I can see there are 2 roots comming to the surface, how about the rest. With this tree, I think that the nebari is as much important as the canope.
Secondly the canope, I've pointed out 2 areas, at point A, two branches are directly behind each other and at point B, there the branches look to be crossing.
I think those areas need your attention, cause crossing branches are allways caugth by the eye. Now you can still change those parts, after your rammification is complete it would mean starting all over.
Third, the colour of the pot is very well chosen, it gives the tree definately more glance, in the future I would recomment a shalower, maybe more oval pot, same colour, but without an outside rim.
Maybe I'm totaly wrong with my comment, than please correct me. It's just my thoughts as I see it.
Wessel
