First prune and wiring of a Deshojo Maple. ... Before and after. After removing deadwood, forks of over 2 branches, improperly placed branches etc, I tried to reduce the congested areas and wire the branches so the tips all have their own space.
The tree has been cleaned, with deadwood removed from the trunk and branches. Moss was removed from around the bottom of the trunk, revealing a nebari in need of some work; a future project perhaps?! Below is a close up showing the trunk pre-clean.  The tree will be root pruned and re-potted in Spring in a more free draining soil mix, which with regular feeding and pruning, should improve the health and vigor of the tree.

Nice bit of wiring.....very natural look ( Harry H influence?). Look forward to seeing the tree in Spring.
Thanks. With practice, I think I'm starting to get the hang of wiring?!

When it comes to wiring I have had a lot of practice. (see video on FB of my Yew) and I do enjoy wiring a tree. However, when it comes to wiring trees in training I like to wire "loose" as this gives me more time to remove it at the end of summer.....with so many trees. (That was a BB hot tip!!) LoL!
