Bald Cypress Bunjin

Hello all, i am quite the novice and would appreciate any suggestions on my cypress. i am in Florida and i am going for a hybrid between a traditional Bunjin and the native cypresses i live around. I realize it is just a start but i am proud of how its coming along, compared to the bean pole it was when i got it as nursery stock.
thanks for the advice.

Oh and i know the Pics are a bit pixilated but i hope they at least give a rough idea of the shape of the tree.

Strap on a length of rebar and bend that thing. Branches have movement so must the trunk. Get all the ingredients ready (torture devices), draw a sketch, drink a beer and attack. Cypress this time of the year that size are as tuff as Mr. Bill.
