Pruning and wiring is planned for late summer early fall at the start of second growing season. Right now, I leave the foliage to help the tree recovers.
The trunk has fantastic taper already. Now all I have to do is to shape the rest.

It is hard to see from these 2D pictures but the tree has come a very long way. It was very satisfying to do the wiring and shaping today.
