Description:
I pruned it a bit more this time. Also re-styled a bit since it never really had a definite leader/apex (it was a messy apex at best, and was also too similar in level as close-by pads).

…and had lots of branches going backward and curling onto itself, which bugged me. Also had too many straight-up secondary/tertiary branches.

I will train that new little extending apex on top to grow taller and into an S-shape informal-upright as it gets older (instead of its’ previous “wider and low” octopus shape).

It was more trained/pruned as a niwaki before I got it - just rough hedged clouds/pads/clam-shell-shapes and not really intricately pruned and wired like a bonsai…so I did it more bonsai style this time (although, it will still be a niwaki).

It was similar last-year, but pruned it then to just look more lace’y and see-thru and tightened up; also last year I left all the little vertical secondary twigs/branches alone and upright (just shortened them and cleaned up the insides of the pads).

…this time, I removed all/most of the upright secondary/tertiary-twigs and/or wired them laterally.

The secondary/tertiary twigs/branches were getting too long, tall and leggy, so I felt it needed a restyle. Lots of extensions this year… so I turned the highest and longest extension into a new leader and trunk/line.

I figure late-fall or winter is good for this heavy pruning (enough energy allocated from summer and fall, for next spring growth).
I also figured any newer and much smaller/younger vertical growth that comes out of the older secondaries that are now lateral (or the thick ones that were cut off) will be more in proportion to make a nicer looking pad = now a wider spread pad with a thinner pad depth/height (longer/older/thicker lateral secondaries + any upcoming new skinnier younger tertiary growths)… versus before which was a smaller spread with taller pad depth/height (not as attractive… almost like balls).
