Johnny,
Took a note of your comments, very constructive, thanks man.
After I finished work, took about 10 mins and rewired that branch back again. Attached another picture of what it looks like this time. I spread out the wires, and loosened each loop.
I live in Pennsylvania, but actually, I did a lot of research into this particular species, Ilex crenata, and apparently a lot of authors note that this can be a particular successful indoor bonsai species. So I decided to conduct a little experiment at my own risk, I have a yaupon holly (similiar species) growing outside, and I have a crenata holly growing indoors under supplemental light, misted daily etc. So I don't expect that winter will have as much of an inpact on this tree as one might assume.
Also, I didn't cut much back from the roots. I sorta just repotted the tree on an angle, and snipped a couple of minor roots. I didn't do any pruning.
Thanks so far,
F.B. Tran
below is the rewired branch, inset in picture is what it looked like before.
